Exeter's Young Professionals' festive frolics for youth homelessness

So who’s up for some fun festive frolics? Why not join the growing gang of Santa lookalikes and elf impersonators shimmying 100ft down the Princesshay Car Park in central Exeter for Exeter YMCA’s fifth charity Santa Abseil, sponsored by Gilbert Stephens and Attention Media.

Due to take place on Saturday 6 December, all money raised will help the YMCA continue to provide a home to over 40 young people and the support that they need to see a brighter future.

Isabel Bertram from Gilbert Stephens said: “We have recruited an eager team of Santas from Gilbert Stephens’ Young Professionals Network, including prospective MP Dom Morris and Will Crossley-Tinney from Pyne & Lyon, who will be donning their Santa suits and we can’t wait to support this vital local charity. We are really keen to have some festive fun while remembering the important work the Exeter YMCA does with young people in need locally.”   

Peter Stephenson, Chief Executive of Exeter YMCA said, “Christmas is a time when many people are looking to give something back to their community. It’s also a time that is particularly difficult for the many young people across Devon without a place to call home. So Santa Abseil is a perfect opportunity to do something fun and festive whilst helping some of the most vulnerable people in our society.”
