Last week at e:merge was a week of seeing our young leaders challenge themselves and grow through their involvement in activities around our Community Hubs.
Eighteen young leaders took part in some training and team building activities and then spent the rest of the week helping lead activities from Fun Days in Bierley with hundreds of people to community gardening in West Bowling and youth sports in Windhill and Undercliffe.
It was not all easy but the highlights of those involved included the sense of community they gained, and seeing the difference even a little help can make. One young person said, “it wasn’t easy to keep a positive attitude, but I came back the next morning and seeing how our work made others happy was amazing”.
