🌳🧡 COMING TOGETHER FOR OUR COMMUNITY!

It was fantastic to see local organisations, residents and community partners come together for the Olive Lane Park Community Clean-Up in Darwen!

Our Youth Zone team were proud to get involved, helping to tidy up and improve the park, creating a cleaner, safer and more welcoming space for the local community to enjoy. 🌿

It was a great opportunity to work alongside others, give back to our community and take pride in our local area.

A huge thank you to everyone who got involved and helped make a positive difference! 👏🧡

🏭 WORLD OF WORK TOUR | H&T PRESSPART

This week, our young people had the fantastic opportunity to visit H&T Presspart as part of our World of Work tours!

During the visit, our young people enjoyed a tour of the facilities, discovering how inhaler components and other products are manufactured, learning about the different stages of production and getting an insight into the company's apprenticeship programme.

It was a brilliant opportunity for our young people to explore the world of manufacturing, learn about different career pathways and see the opportunities available to them in the industry.

A huge thank you to everyone at H&T Presspart for welcoming our young people and providing such an interesting and informative experience! 🧡

🧡Hate Crime Awareness Week

Last week, our young people took part in activities exploring the importance of kindness, respect and inclusion.

Through discussions and real-life scenarios, they learned how to recognise unkind behaviour, stand up for others and speak to someone they trust if they experience or witness bullying.

They also got creative, designing their own awareness posters to spread positive messages about treating everyone with kindness and respect!
