We’d love to show you around a local Youth Zone, allowing you to see for yourself the impact that these centres make. Simply fill in your details below and a member of the team will be in touch to arrange a visit.
Take a Virtual TourAfter working in Youth Zones for the previous 6 years prior to joining OnSide it was important to me to be able to share the opportunities a Youth Zone presents to its community and the impact it has to other young people across the country.
There have been many favourable moments of working with the team including the FREDIE and Values group, but my highlight so far would be working with the youth work team and wider network to take 50 young people from across the country on a summer residential to the Lake District.
The Hive Youth Zone. I was blown away by the facilities available for young people, and excited and proud that I would be working in such an incredible space that provides the very best services for the communities it serves.
The salon/wellbeing room – Similar to going to the barbers/hairdressers for adults, I find this space to be where young people feel safe to open up. Conversations between young people and youth workers happen organically helping to build rapport and trust. This supports the young people’s physical, social and emotional wellbeing.
I have raced pigeons and been part of a pigeon racing club for over 30 years.
