πŸ₯°We’re so proud of our Founder, Sue Roberts, who was recognised with a #CAVA #VolunteerRecognitionAward for her #dedication and hard work.

Sue visited #CaludonCastleSchool for β€˜Make a Difference Day’. We teamed up with a clay sculptor and an #AstonMartin designer to run creative #workshops. Students learned to use #Canva and two Aston Martin #apprentices spoke about their journeys and shared advice on careers and #mentalhealth 🧑

YMM delivered 172 #mentoring sessions in May 🧑
That’s 172 times a young person had space to talk and be listened to.

We’re bringing in new #mentors and getting ready to reach even more #schools from September.

#Mentoring works. And the children tell us so.

In #feedback received direct from the children, before mentoring, many of the children we support told us they were struggling with difficult feelings, but look at the difference after mentoring.

Every brain is wired differently, shaping how we think, interact, and experience the world. Neurodiversity reminds us that these differences are not deficits β€” they’re part of what makes us human.
