Mental Health Training with Real Community Impact
Invest in Your Team. Transform a Local Life.
If you are looking for practical, high-quality mental health training, YMCA Trinity Group provides expert-led courses designed to support workplace wellbeing, staff resilience, and the mental health of children and young people.
Why choose a charity for your training? In the current economic climate, fundraising has become increasingly difficult due to the cost-of-living crisis. Yet, the need for social impact is greater than ever. As our Chief Operating Officer, Amanda Butterworth, explains: “Charities are seeing their costs rise, and yet funding isn’t increasing to match the needs of our communities“.
To bridge this gap, we have developed our training programmes as an alternative fundraising string to our bow. We operate very leanly so that all resources are focused on delivering services where there are levels of deprivation and a lack of opportunities for young people.
When you book a workshop, you aren’t just upskilling your staff; you are directly funding:
Safe Housing
Support for residents and care leavers in Peterborough, Cambridge, and Ipswich.
Mental Health Support
Therapeutic counselling and early-years intervention for children at every life stage.
Community Spaces
Safe environments like the Shine Project and YMCA Youth Cresset, where young people are seen, heard, and valued.
By choosing YMCA Trinity Group, you give young people a fair chance to discover who they are and what they have the potential to become
