GCSE Results Day is here! 🌟

A huge good luck to everyone collecting their results today. However your results look, take a moment to recognise the hard work, resilience and effort that got you here.

One set of grades doesn’t define who you are or limit where you can go. There are so many different paths ahead, and today is simply the beginning of the next one.

Be proud of yourself, celebrate how far you’ve come, and look forward to what’s next. 💙✨

A huge thank you to Wickes for donating a fully fitted communal kitchen, complete with appliances, to YMCA Brighton. 💙

Originally created as a display for Wickes’ annual conference, the kitchen has now been given a new home where it can make a lasting difference.

The fresh and welcoming space gives residents somewhere to cook, connect and spend time together, and it is already being put to great use!

Thank you, Wickes, for your generous support.
