GMYN

GMYN is a charity that helps young people. Our Being Together programme is specially for asylum-seekers and refugees who arrived in the UK under 18 without parents/guardians.

Activities include:

• Weekly groups and social activities
• Holiday trips one to one support
• Regular information sessions from GMIAU to help young people understand the asylum process.
• Girls Group, led by a female facilitator.

How to access:

To join our programme, young people need to be referred by contacting Sarah Sunarko at sarah.sunarko@gmyn.co.uk to access the referral form.

Our UASC programmes work with young people in the UK who are undergoing an individual asylum process for leave to remain.

We provide a variety of development activities, including:

• Wellbeing focused activities: supporting young people to overcome personal barriers, build relationships and work through trauma amongst peers.

• Day visits and travel training: supporting young people in trips to towns, cities, areas of natural beauty (AONB) and heritage sites within the Northwest region. We intentionally engage our young people in their local and broader communities.

• Life skills activities: supporting young people to build key skills and capabilities in the absence of further training and employment opportunities.

• Social Action campaigns: raising awareness of prevalent issues for these young people and engaging/giving back to their community

• One-to-one support: enabling unaccompanied children to have direct one-to-one support from a GMYN Programme Coordinator.
