The Y Bus Came to Visit

Students were treated at lunchtime this week when the YMCA Y Bus rolled into school, bringing a lot of excitement on what was a cold and dreary Wednesday! Staff from the YMCA were on hand to talk to students about the Y Bus and where they can find it outside of school.

The Y Bus is a new mobile youth service bringing activities and support to young people in the local community. It has a small seating area inside and is fitted with a games console, iPad, TV and free WiFi. With its own generator and kitchen facilities, it can run a microwave and a toaster and provide hot drinks and other refreshments. The aim of the Y Bus is to provide information, advice and guidance on issues such as staying safe, peer pressure and mental wellbeing. This fantastic new resource has been funded by YMCA Challenge Participants and Safer Streets funding from the Home Office.

The Y Bus can be found in and around Redhill at the following times:
