Staff and young people at Youth Project Acocks Green are proud to be supporting Youth Work Week 2024. This year’s theme focuses on the ’right to youth work for all – delivering positive futures for young people’, highlighting the importance of safe, warm and welcoming spaces for all young people, regardless of their background or identity.
This week we reminisced on the activities and programmes we have delivered over the past 6 years. With the support of funders and partners and families we have been able to offer; Cooking workshops, Trips, social Action, Duke of Edinburgh, HAF summer programmes Girls group and open access at low cost or even free, reducing barriers to access Youth Work. These spaces have been a space for young people to connect and belong; a communal space outside of school for young people to be themselves.
Kynton Swingle, Community Development Manager at Fox Hollies Community Association said, “every young person should have the right to a safe space where they can express themselves, explore their identity and values and have access to opportunities that improve their lives. Since starting this project, we’ve been extremely passionate about trying to make this a reality for as many young people as possible, and with the current challenges young people face, we’re more determined than ever to make it a reality.”
