YMCA Exeter

A fantastic fundraising event hosted by Life at Bishop Fleming 🏆 thank you to everyone that contributed!

A little friendly competition for a great cause! 🙌

Clients and colleagues joined us at our Exeter office for a charity scavenger hunt and networking evening in support of YMCA Exeter.

Teams headed out around Winslade Park in search of clues before returning to the office for pizza, drinks and a chance to catch up.

We also heard from the YMCA team about the difference their work makes in the local community. Donations and support for our raffle helped raise £550 for this fantastic cause.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us, donated and got involved, and to our Charity Committee for bringing together such an enjoyable evening. 👏

This week, we had the pleasure of joining Exeter church leaders, charities and civic leaders at the City Life 2026 conference, hosted by the ONE for Exeter Team at Belmont Church, Exeter.

A great time was had strengthening partnerships and coming together collaboratively with a vision of transforming the city. We are so pleased to hear about the work other organisations are doing, to make a difference together.

🌍 World Homeless Day 🌍

Today is World Homeless Day, and we are asking; what can £10 do?

By giving £10 a month, you could provide up to 4 young people experiencing homelessness a nutritious meal. Not only that, but it can help support our work with residents teaching them valuable healthy cooking skills.

We have a goal of 100 monthly givers - can you help, and be part of the 100? Find out more about giving here: ymcaexeter.org.uk/becomeafriend/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=be_part_of_the_100
