❤️❤️

A gentle reminder that we are now CLOSED for play until Sunday 6th September.

We have tried to contact as many of our most regular attendees this Summer as possible to invite you/them a small review/celebration today. We had a number of email bounce backs so if you have been here lots and haven't received an email, we're sorry.

We fully appreciate that the weather hates us today, but if you would like to join us to share your thoughts, idea's or stories even for a short while, we would really love to see you.

Places are limited to give us chance to speak to as many of you as possible so this is a BOOKINGS ONLY session unless you have received an email/flyer from us.

(Youth sessions remain open next week as young people transition to new places/settings/classes/groups)

Following years of negotiations, the legal agreement has now been signed in Brussels, confirming that the UK will formally rejoin Erasmus+ from 2027.

The National Youth Agency was deeply involved in work to bring this opportunity back for young people, supporting efforts to ensure international learning, volunteering and collaboration are once again accessible to those in the UK.

This return will create new opportunities for young people, students and apprentices to study, travel and volunteer across Europe, with more than 100,000 people expected to benefit in the first year alone - from apprentices undertaking overseas placements to youth organisations working on cross‑border projects.

At a time when young people are calling for stronger people‑to‑people connections, this marks a hugely positive moment for the youth sector and the organisations that support them.
