Last night, our junior and senior youth groups focused on what a Youth Worker is and what qualities they like most from their youth workers.

They were tasked with working together in groups to design their perfect youth worker and the results were very cool 🙌

Tonight we have our Sen-Sational group 4.30pm - 6.30pm

This is for 10-16 year olds with SEND, who need a smaller and quieter group to socialise.

Then we have THE SOUNDHOUSE, 6.30pm - 8.00pm.

This group is for all things music!! We have a range of instruments to try and all abilities are welcome.

Don't forget there's no Weekend Wanderers tomorrow!

We are back as normal from next week ✌️

✨ We’ve just wrapped up our final day of Off the Grid: Escaping Routines, Screens and Negative Cycles 😅😱
(Match funded by the Lancashire Police and Crime Commissioner)

What a journey it’s been!! 🚀

We’ve had some incredible feedback from the young people who took part:

💬 "I've made fantastic memories and learned so many new things!"

💬 "I would love an off the grid project for every holiday!"

💬 "The thing I enjoyed most was playing new games and learning interesting facts. This project has helped me because I've found new things I enjoy."

💬 "This project has helped me get out more rather than staying inside. I've liked being able to do art and help other kids do arts and crafts."

💬 "Taking part in this project has made me happier."

💬 "I've never enjoyed or stayed long at any holiday club or youth club, not even for one day. This is the first place I've come and enjoyed."

💬 "I have loved making new friends and having new experiences, especially the science and media museum."

💬 "I've enjoyed this project because I've been able to get outside and I don't do that very often."

💬 "The project helped me a bit because ever since I came here I have made friends and it's helped me not swear as much."

🌟 Often people ask, “What is Youth Work, really?”
It’s so much more than just pool tables and games. It’s about:

➡️Exploring young people’s interests

➡️Listening to their lived experiences

➡️Supporting them to grow into who they want to be

These testimonials speak volumes about the impact youth work has, and the difference it makes 👏🫶

We’ve watched young people on this project go from strength to strength — learning, trying new things, and growing both socially and emotionally. We are so proud of every single one of them ❤️

✨ Today was something special! ✨

We combined our Off the Grid project (match funded by the Lancashire Police and Crime Commissioner) with our Weekend Wanderers group (funded by Sport England ) – and it was a huge success! 🙌

Our young people hiked through Malham Cove, Gordale Scar and Janet’s Foss 🚶‍♂️🌿 The group worked brilliantly together, with some new friendships already starting to blossom ❤️👍

The scenery was stunning, the company was amazing, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for more 👏✨

And in true Stacey style… what should have been a 4.5 mile walk turned into 7 miles of adventure 😂🥾💪
