YouthPrint was proud to provide a free Youth Zone at Durham Pride this year 🌈

We invited youth organisations from across the network to get involved, either by providing activities, taking part in the parade with their young people, or both.
Organisations taking part in the parade were also supported with funding to create their own Pride banners.

Throughout the day there was a great range of activities on offer
The weather was fantastic, the event had a brilliant turnout and it was lovely to see so many young people enjoying the day and getting involved.

It was also a great example of partnership working and the value the youth sector can bring to community events like Durham Pride!

Yesterday we had the pleasure again of delivering an Introduction to Youth Work course to young people from Durham Area Youth and Laurel Avenue Community Association in our Durham City area.

The young people covered topics such as
❓what is youth work?
👂skills and qualities for a youth worker
⚠️health and safety
📝how to plan, do, review an activity which you can see from the photos they did a very thorough job.

They will now receive their AQA level 1 award in youth work. 👏
Well done to everyone who attended and stuck out the cold on a dreary Saturday as the heating was broken in the venue 🥶
