We have a few tools that help you manage rent.

We use PayPal for making rent payments.

 

You don’t need to have a Paypal account for this!

After the first screen that asks for the payment amount, select the button that says “Pay by Debit or Credit Card”. This will bring you to a screen asking for payment details.

Please don’t ignore it if there is a problem with paying your rent.

Please get in touch and discuss whats happening with your support worker (if you’re in stage 1 or 2), or your tenancy worker (if you’re in Exwick, or Sidwell Studios).

If rent has been missed, we will ask you to fill out a rent repayment agreement. This ensures that everyone knows what rent you expect to pay.

YMCA Exeter operates a charitable donation Rent Bursary scheme that helps young people who are currently living in our Newcourt accommodation to be able to enter into full time employment.

This is because as your income from your employment increases, the amount you receive from Housing Benefit decreases.

Please speak with your support worker to find out more about this, and if this applies to you.

We have several rent calculators to help you estimate how changes to your income will impact your housing benefit and your top-up.

It has been one week since #YMCAExeter joined in w It has been one week since #YMCAExeter joined in with #JoyFest 🎉 in the lead up to JoyFest, our staff team had been planning different ways in which they could go out and bless the city. 

Watch to see what our Resource and Comms team got up to! They had lots of fun surprising frontline services with delicious cakes from locally sourced @bigbakesbakery 🍰

The responses to the cakes were really touching, with many showing their surprise at receiving thanks and appreciation for their work, with one person commenting ‘we don’t often hear that’. 

To sum up the morning, ‘it is a blessing to be a blessing’!

It's Volunteers week and we are shining a light on It's Volunteers week and we are shining a light on Tim, a volunteer in our garden projects! 🪴

Since 2021, Tim has become a fundamental part of the volunteer garden crew. 

“When Tim arrived, we were just setting up the Exwick Forest School space in collaboration with Exwick Community Church,” explains Sam Thomas, YMCA Exeter Community Projects Manager. “Tim was a huge help across the whole project, especially leading the build on a living roof timber structure.” 

“I would be lost without him,” continues Sam. “At St Davids Hill our 31-bed home for young people who have come out of homelessness he led the installation of a polytunnel in our community garden and started a proper compost system and a seasonal planting succession plan.” 

From all of us at YMCA Exeter, we’re so thankful for Tim’s consistent support and knowledge sharing.  You can read more of Tim's story via the News section on our website through the link in our bio!
