Pyxis Closure

2nd August 2025

Dear All, 

It is with great sadness that we need to inform you that Pyxis will be closing its doors for the very last time on Sunday 31st August 2025. 

We realise that this news will be unwelcome and will likely come as a surprise to many of you. Over the past year, we have encountered a variety of challenges which have impacted Pyxis and we have been working hard behind the scenes to keep the important work we do going for as long as possible. However, after much deliberation and exploration of our options, it is sadly clear now that we need to close. 

We would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of our group members, young people, parents, carers, funders, volunteers, and staff members for coming together to create and develop Pyxis into the wonderful community it has been over the past six years. As we all know, saying goodbye is never easy but it is important to do so. We will therefore be taking time over the coming weeks, but particularly this coming Sunday (3rd) and Monday (4th), to talk with all of our young people about the closure, to support them in thinking about what's next for them, and aid them in keeping in touch with friends they've made during their time with us. 

Below is a list of key dates for each of our groups (please note that sessions will continue as normal until these dates). Your mentors will be in touch regarding any specific arrangements for each group across August. 

For those young people receiving one to one mentoring, your mentor will be in touch on Monday 4th August with more detailed information about their final sessions with you. 

We understand that you or your young person may have questions and we would encourage you to reach out to any of our team members to do this (we are all cc'd into this email).

Monday 18th August - Final 10-13's and 14-17's group, Final one to one mentoring sessions.

Sunday 24th August - 18-25's Trip (Details TBC)

Thank you again for all your support.
