YMM Channel Swim 2026!
What an achievement! 🌊

Billy, Rachael, Daisy-Mai and Claire completed an incredible English Channel crossing in 12 hours and 2 minutes, raising £12,000+ to support young people’s mental health. 💙

After months of training and determination, the team took on one of the toughest open-water challenges and successfully reached the French coast. Special thanks also to Katie, whose commitment and preparation were a huge part of the journey before illness sadly prevented her from taking part.

Together, they’re helping more young people access the support they need when they need it most. A huge thank you to everyone who donated, cheered them on and made this amazing achievement possible.

💙 Fill in the blank…
Taking a moment to reflect on what we’re grateful for can have a positive impact on our wellbeing, even on the difficult days. Gratitude doesn’t have to be about big moments. It can be a smile from a friend, a warm drink, a supportive conversation, or simply getting through the day.

Writing down what we’re grateful for can help us pause, reflect, and appreciate the things that bring us comfort, joy, or strength.

✨ Today, I am grateful for __________

World Mental Health Day Concert at Stowe School 💚

A huge thank you to the fantastic team at Stowe School for organising a wonderful World Mental Health Day Concert to raise funds and awareness for YMM.

The creativity and thought that went into the whole event was incredible - right down to the gorgeous YMM-branded biscuits from Oh My Cakery! 🍪💚

And what a show. The performances were outstanding - powerful, emotional and hugely impressive - including brilliant workshop pieces from Shrek and Hamilton. 🎭🎶

We are incredibly grateful to everyone at Stowe who worked so hard to make the evening such a success, and to everyone who performed, supported and helped raise awareness of the importance of young people’s mental health.

A huge thank you also to Silverstone Circuit, Silverstone Museum and Aston Martin for generously providing some fantastic raffle prizes.

A very special evening, and one we were delighted to be part of. 💚

🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️ WE’RE FINALLY OFF!! 🇬🇧➡️🇫🇷

After four previous starts were called off — because of weather, illness, weather… and more weather — our incredible YMM Channel Swim Relay Team is finally taking on the English Channel!

This morning, while most of us were still tucked up in bed, Billy, Rachael, Daisy and Claire were down at the boat with Sue, YMM Founder; Angus, their coach; Stuart, their skipper; and the Sea Leopard crew, getting ready for the off.

And Billy is first into the water! 🌊

Very sadly, Katy has had to withdraw because of illness. We are absolutely gutted for her. She has completed all the training, committed so much to this challenge and done an incredible job supporting the team’s fundraising. To come this far and not be able to swim is devastating, and we are hugely grateful for everything she has contributed. ❤️

A massive thank you too to Claire, who stepped in as reserve and is now taking her place in the relay.

This challenge has already been an enormous test of patience, determination and resilience before anyone even entered the water — so we could not be more excited to see them finally on their way.

We’ll be tracking them all the way and sharing updates throughout the swim. Please cheer them on from wherever you are! 🙌

At YMM, we’ve been asking our trustees why they chose to step into their role - and what part of the journey means the most to them. Today, we’re shining a light on Jeremy.

“Having seen first‑hand the challenges my daughter has faced with her mental health, I wanted to make sure that no young person — or their family and friends — has to go through the highs and lows that my daughter and we as a family have been through.
Being a trustee is my opportunity to contribute to an organisation that gives every young person the support they deserve and need at the time they need it.”

My favourite part of the role:
“Firstly, being able to see and hear about all of the good work that YMM is doing in its quest to support every young person.
Secondly, being able to support the operational and trustee team with my lived experience — both from my personal life and through my work — to help shape YMM now and into the future.”
Jeremy’s lived experience, compassion, and commitment help strengthen the support we provide every day. We’re incredibly grateful for the perspective he brings to YMM.

World Mental Health Day is on Saturday 10
October

We’re asking schools and businesses to join us in
raising funds for YMM and helping us reach more
young people who need someone to talk to.

At YMM, our trained mentors provide one-to-one
mentoring in schools, supporting young people who are
struggling with their mental health, confidence and
wellbeing.

There are so many simple ways to get involved – a
non-uniform day, cake sale, sponsored challenge, quiz,
dress-down day, a team fundraising challenge, or
simply a donation each. Every pound raised helps us
provide more mentoring sessions and reach more
young people.

Want to get involved? Simply print the poster and
display it in your school or workplace, or download it
and email it to parents, carers and staff. You can then
use the QR code to make a donation or start your own
fundraising.

Whether you’re a school, a business or a group of
colleagues, your support can make a real difference.

This World Mental Health Day, let’s come together for
young people.

At YMM, our trustees play a huge role in guiding the work we do - so we asked them why they choose to be part of YMM, and what they love most about the role.

Georgie shared:
“I am a Trustee for YMM because I passionately believe in the work that we do - supporting and uplifting the children and young people who need our services.”

We’re so grateful for the heart, commitment, and belief our trustees bring to YMM. Their passion helps us continue making a real difference in the lives of young people every day 💛
