YPCS Firewalk A Roaring Success!

The YPCS firewalk proved to be a roaring success, raising vital funds for child and young people’s mental health.

We would like to give a huge YPCS thank you to everyone who attended, donated and contributed to our firewalk event! 
 
Thank you to our wonderful hosts Peterborough Rugby Club for helping us make this event possible.

Grand Opening of the Annabelle Davis Centre Yaxley

We had a wonderful weekend welcoming some very special guests to the grand opening of the Annabelle Davis Centre Yaxley!

We had not one grand opening this weekend but two!
 
We were also able to welcome supporters, friends and our patrons, Warwick Davis and Annabelle Davis, to the flagship Annabelle Davis Centre in Yaxley.
 
The impact of Covid has meant this celebration has been delayed and so it was fantastic to finally be able to showcase our beautiful building and sensory garden.
 
Thank you once again to all who have shown their support for the charity, for our communities and for the young people and families we support every day.
 
 
Thank you again to Terry Harris for the beautiful photographs.

YPCS Brings Wellbeing Mentor Training to Schools

We have been delighted to bring our new Wellbeing Mentor Training to Fenland schools.

We were delighted to bring our Wellbeing Mentor Training to Neale-Wade Academy  and Bottisham Village College!
 
Developed with 20TwentyProductions CIC, the Wellbeing Mentor Programme trains young people to deliver wellbeing sessions to their peers. This training is in conjunction with a Wellbeing Wallet being distributed to schools, consisting of a Wellbeing Journal, Wellbeing Playing Cards and fidgets.
 
We are so proud to be able to bring these resources to young people. It’s wonderful to see young people engaging in how they can be a positive influence within their schools and how they can support each other.

YPCS Joins Yaxley Runners

We joined the Yaxley Runners for their annual celebration meal.

It was great to be able to join the Yaxley Runners  and other clubs across Peterborough for their annual celebration meal. 

Originally this was planned for 2020 but COVID meant that this evening was postponed for two years. 

The Yaxley Runners have been fundraising for YPCS and we were able to thank them in person! We were also able to share with them how fundraisers like this make such a difference to the services we provide for young people. 

Thank you to the Yaxley Runners!
