    Watch this space… YMM is starting a podcast!

    We’ve got something new coming to YMM — our very own podcast!

    We’re creating a series of conversations that will give you a chance to hear more about YMM, the people behind our work and, most importantly, the young people and communities we support.

    Our first podcast features Eliza, who shares her own story and talks about her experience with YMM.

    We’re really excited to share it with you and hope it will give you a different insight into the people, experiences and stories behind our work.

    The first episode is coming soon… so watch this space!

    We’re delighted to announce that YMM has been shortlisted for Charity of the Year at the Stratford Herald Business and Tourism Awards 2026 ! It’s wonderful to see our work supporting young people across our local communities recognised in this way. We’re incredibly proud of our team, mentors, volunteers and supporters who help make our free, one-to-one mentoring possible for schools and young people. Thank you to everyone who continues to support YMM! 

  • Channel Swim Success for the YMM team

    Channel Swim Success for the YMM team

    After four previous starts were called off because of poor weather conditions, our incredible YMM Channel Swim Relay Team finally completed their challenge! Billy, Rachael, Daisy and Claire set off at 5.30am and swam the English Channel in an amazing 12 hours and 2 minutes. We’re incredibly proud of what they achieved. If you’d like to support their efforts and help raise funds for YMM’s work with young people, you can still donate by clicking the link below.
