Highlights from Summer!

Summer may be over, but we are still thinking about the wonderful memories we made with young people during the school holidays!

We love the work we do with young people during term time – but there is something very special about working with young people in the school summer holidays!  It’s been weeks filled with fun, laughter, trips, new experiences, making friends, learning new skills – and for our team of youth workers – wonderful opportunities to encourage and support young people.

We’ve had 4 days of sports, games, bush skills and crafts in the park, a 3 day residential to the seaside, Xsport (a 3 day sports camp for 100 young people), as well as indoor bouldering, a trip to an art gallery and lots of ‘catch ups’ with young people, just checking how they are doing during the school holidays.

Our school holiday activities, particularly Xsport, could not happen without the fantastic volunteers that we have.  To those who gave up their time to support emerge, and who brought so much energy and enthusiasm with them, we just want to say a massive thank you!  You were absolutely brilliant!
