Last week Matt and Sam from Michael Jones Jeweller took on the huge challenge of abseiling The Express Lift Tower to raise money for our services.

Due to the wind they had to descend inside but achieved the challenge and raised over £2,300. Every penny will go to supporting young people’s mental health and wellbeing and we can’t thank them enough.

Thank you ⭐️🌟⭐️

🏳️‍🌈Happy Pride Month!

Pride month is an annual celebration of the contributions made by the LGBTQ+ community throughout history and society.

Pride month focuses on acceptance, equality and educating people on the LGBTQ+ community as well as spreading awareness of homophobia, biphobia and transphobia that still impacts our communities today.

Today, on Power of Youth Day, we're celebrating signing the Power of Youth Charter: a commitment to embed youth voice in the heart of everything we do.

We believe young people don't just have a role to play in shaping their communities, they should be leading that change.

Tomorrow we are hosting a Manifesto Workshop with the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner, Danielle Stone, to listen to our young people and gather their opinions on their local community.

Watch this space for more info on what our Youth Advisory Board comes up with.
This is our Common Ground.
