We had a fantastic first week at our Step Up for Change program! Danni and Chris spent the week getting to know the young people, while the participants took the opportunity to connect with each other. It was a wonderful way to kick off what we hope will be a transformative experience for everyone involved.
One of the first things we did was write our group agreement. This was a crucial step in ensuring we create a supportive and encouraging environment where everyone can grow and learn together. By setting these expectations from the start, we’re laying a solid foundation for the weeks to come.
Our Youth Officer, Chris (see self portrait), captured the spirit of the week perfectly when he said, “The ice is well and truly broken.” The group had a blast with icebreakers, games, puzzles, and plenty of laughter. It was truly rewarding to see the young people come out of their shells and actively engage in every activity. Their enthusiasm and willingness to participate really set a positive tone for the program.
It’s inspiring to witness the growth and confidence in the young people as they support one another and embrace the experience. We’re excited to see how these connections develop and how everyone continues to shine as we move forward.
If you’re interested in joining this amazing journey, we still have a few limited spaces left! Don’t hesitate to reach out to Danni and Chris on 07561690043 if you’re a young person aged between 16-24 and struggling in formal education.
