Fired Up 🔥🍔

There's something special about cooking together.

From preparing the bread, burgers, and sausages to taking turns at the BBQ, everyone had a part to play.

The best part? Sitting down together to enjoy a meal that was made through teamwork from start to finish.

The Malta youth group met at Shoreline and started the evening with a short treasure hunt, finding items beginning with each letter of their name.

After that, it was time to sit down, relax and enjoy dinner together at Cuba.

In this group session, the youth worked on grocery planning and budgeting. Among others, this involved recognising different supermarket names, finding items from supermarket leaflets that were below a certain amount and adding totals.

Apart from a movement break involving some obstacle games featured in another reel, the youth also had some time to play their favourite board games 😊

Out and About 🛒

The best way to build confidence is to step out into the community and put everyday skills into practice.

During this Community Skills session, the youth shopped for essentials, paid at the checkout, and enjoyed a meal out, building confidence through real-life experiences along the way

Some places hold memories. Others hold a piece of someone forever. 🤍

A little over two years ago, we got you a small patch of turf and a shallow pool. There wasn't much here then—just a bare space waiting to become something.

And you became the very first person to bring it to life.

I can still imagine your laughter within these walls. You had this beautiful way of finding so much joy in so little. What may have seemed like a simple patch of turf and a little pool to others became a place of happiness through your eyes.

Today, you are no longer here for us to see or hold, but somehow, you still make yourself known.

I see you in the smallest of birds that appear nearby. I think of you when the wind gently moves the daffodils. And sometimes, in the quietest moments, it feels as though you never really left.

So, dearest little one, this is my gift to you—and to all those who love and miss you.

A humble serenity space where our youths can feel safe, slow down and unwind. A place where they can sit together, share a meal, laugh, connect and simply enjoy being together.

And perhaps the most beautiful part is how it came to be.

There was no quick government scheme behind it and no large pot of funding. This space was created through months of work by our youths alongside their support staff. Together, they made handmade products, worked hard, and patiently put aside the profits.

Little by little, their work transformed this space.

A space created through the abilities and efforts of our youths, for our youths. ❤️

And it feels only right that the first person who ever brought laughter and life to this little corner will now forever be part of it.

It may not be grand. It may be private, simple and humble.

But perhaps that is exactly why it feels so right.

Your memory doesn't need something grand.

It just needs a place where laughter continues. Where people come together. Where simple things still bring joy.

Just as they did for you.

Keep watching over us, dearest little one. Keep protecting all those who enter this space, and every now and then, send us one of those little signs that remind us you are still near. 🤍

The James Micallef Serenity Space

Made with love.
Built through the work of our youths.
And dedicated to a little soul whose laughter will forever live within these walls.

Much love,
Mel 🤍
