YMM
Let’s empower young voices together.
Our vision is a world where every young person receives the support they deserve, to build resilience, self-esteem and focus to enable them to live a purposeful and happy life.
Who are we?
We are a Warwickshire based, registered charity called YMM. We support young people through our mentoring service, building resilience, self-esteem and confidence.
How do we help?
We provide 1:1 mentoring sessions in schools across Warwickshire for children and young people aged 5-18, free of charge.
Why is what we do so important?
School Children are facing more challenges than ever before.
With the impact of coronavirus and lockdown, academic pressures, social media and more, we recognise the responsibility that we have to protect and nurture young people.
According to Stratford Town Trust (2022), in April 2022, there was an increase of 109% compared to the same month pre-pandemic of under 19s referred to CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services).*
How we fundraise
YMM receives no government or NHS funding and relies entirely on donations and fundraising.
We want to ensure our services are as accessible to as many people as possible, including overcoming the barriers that parents, carers, schools and other agencies might be facing.
With this in mind, we organise fundraising concerts and events that give young people a platform, as well as raising awareness for mental health in young people.
An Evening with YMM
To date, we’ve held two phenomenal fundraising concerts, showcasing the musical talents of some extraordinary young people.
So far, we’ve raised £57,300 from our two fundraising concerts.
For our next fundraising concert, we are delighted to be returning to the prestigious Warwick Hall in 2025.
How You Can Help
Supporting YMM means we can continue to offer life-changing support to students who need it most.
