Lockdown achievements…
It’s been a tough year but we’re very proud of what’s been achieved and the huge progress so many of our young people have made despite the huge challenges brought about by the Covid-19 restrictions.
Celebrating Small Charities Week
Large charities may dominate the news headlines but they are not typical of the UK charity sector. During Small Charities Week we think it’s worth shouting about the amazing work done by small charities who make up 97% of the 163,000 charities registered in the UK and are run and supported by small staff teams (2.7% of the UK workforce) and a staggering 21 million volunteers.
Young Parents’ new home in Gillingham
We have moved! Our Gillingham Young Parents’ support group now runs from the Gillingham Youth Club, Cemetery Road (Thursdays from 10-12 noon) and our young families couldn’t be happier with the move to larger premises.
Shouting about what we do…
We’re very excited this month to see a fantastic double-page spread in the latest issue of the Yeovil Press, all about the work we do to support young people from Yeovil through ‘our home’ in Sherborne and over to Gillingham and Shaftesbury in North Dorset.
Survey finds large number of local young people feeling anxious about restrictions lifting
