Hi All,
Just to let you know we will be closed tomorrow for Simon's Funeral. We are open today, and will be back open Wednesday. Please see our earlier posts for further details about the funeral.

BBC CWR Radio is also dedicating a segment to him this morning at 11:40. Just a prewarning they are likely to splice in clips of his interviews with them in the past.

They have also done an article which you can read here: https://buff.ly/UGYe54T

Bardsley Youth Project staff pay tribute to Simon Rée following his sudden and unexpected death.

06/08/2026

Please note the BBC CWR interview about Simon's life and legacy has been moved to Monday at 11:40. You will now be able to listen to the interview in it's entirety. We are grateful to the team at BBC CWR for the compassion and care they have shown us during this difficult time. The moving of the time reflects their desire to ensure that Simon is dedicated specific time on the show, as such a valued member of the local community .

🏠 Do you know a young person looking for housing support in Coventry?

At Bardsley Youth Project, we know how confusing and overwhelming housing problems can feel — especially if you’re facing homelessness, sofa surfing, or worried about where you’ll live next.

That’s why we’ve created the Young Person’s Hub.

The Young Person’s Hub is our online space where young people in Coventry can:

🏠Find clear information about what homelessness prevention support is available to them
🏠Understand what services we offer at Bardsley Youth Project
🏠See how to access support or refer themselves
It’s designed to be simple, clear, and easy to use — no jargon, no pressure.

👉 Access and share the Young Person’s Hub with someone here: https://buff.ly/8xnYMsx

If you know someone who might need our support— please share this post.
Support starts with knowing where to go 💜
