We want to say a massive thank you to one of our young people (and their family) for an amazing donation of beads to our project! We love beads! And we love the creativity of our young people to make all kinds of things, we so appreciate the gift and are looking forward to sharing our new creations with you in the future. Ps. If you see any good designs out there - feel free to share with us! We love a challenge too 👍

The amazing Susie Mapledoram completed her airline sponsored challenge yesterday for HAFWAY and correctly identified 98 out of 100 airlines from their tail fins. So impressive! She has currently raised just under £900. Can we help her get it to £1000? Here is the link to donate if you would like to support HAFWAY and recognise the genius of Susie:

We are truly grateful to everyone who helps and donates to HAFWAY. Below are Susie’s words about today and the link to donate if you can.

“Excited and nervous for this today! We'll have a load of fun and hopefully I'll get over 50 correct, but THANK YOU SO MUCH to all of you who have donated - I'm so grateful. Hafway is such an important part of the lives of young people in Halliwell and the work they do to inspire and grow confidence is life changing!

🏆🎉 WE'VE BEEN NOMINATED... BUT WE NEED YOUR VOTES!

https://tinyurl.com/voteforHAFWAY

We're absolutely delighted that HAFWAY has been nominated for a Health & Wellbeing Award in the Clubs category!

At HAFWAY, supporting young people's physical and mental wellbeing is at the heart of what we do.

From sports sessions and activities that encourage young people to get active, build confidence and have fun...

To teaching young people how to cook healthy, nutritious meals, develop essential life skills and eat well on a budget...

And perhaps most importantly, providing a safe, welcoming space where young people can build friendships, feel supported and know that they belong.

We believe health and wellbeing is about so much more than physical fitness. It's about helping young people feel good about themselves, develop healthy habits and build the confidence and skills they need to thrive.

NOW WE NEED YOUR HELP!

To be considered as finalists, we need to receive at least 80 nominations, and we'd absolutely love your support in helping us get there!

PLEASE VOTE FOR HAFWAY HERE:
https://tinyurl.com/voteforHAFWAY

It would mean so much to our young people, staff and volunteers to see HAFWAY recognised for the difference it makes in our community.

Please take a moment to nominate us and share this post with your friends and family. Every nomination counts!

Thank you for supporting HAFWAY!

Belong. Believe. Become.

HAFWAY AFTERNOON TEA IS BACK!

Join us for another of our popular HAFWAY Afternoon Teas on Saturday 14th November at the HAFWAY Hub.

A little different this time...
If you’ve joined us for one of our Afternoon Teas before, you’ll know we usually have three sittings. This time we’re having just TWO, giving everyone a little longer to sit back, enjoy their afternoon tea and catch up with friends.

First sitting: 12.30pm – 2.30pm
Second sitting: 3pm – 5pm

Expect plenty of sandwiches and cakes, a homemade scone with jam and cream and of course, lots of tea and coffee!

All money raised will help support the work of HAFWAY Youth, helping us continue to provide a safe place, opportunities and support for local young people.
