A little trip to MediaCity for The BHY! 🎤💙
Our Head of Promise, Sarah, Grange Park Manager, Danielle, along with two of our brilliant young people, Charlotte and McKenzie, headed to MediaCity in Manchester to meet the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to talk all things youth work!
They talked about the work we do across Blackpool and the Fylde Coast, the importance of investing in youth services, creating opportunities for young people and making sure their voices are heard when decisions are being made about their futures.
But most importantly, Charlotte and McKenzie got to share their own experiences, what The BHY means to them and why youth work matters.
And they absolutely smashed it! 👏🏽💙
We can talk about the difference our work makes all day long (and we often do 😂), but there’s nothing quite like hearing it directly from the young people themselves.
A huge thank you to the DCMS for inviting us along, and to Charlotte and McKenzie for representing The BHY so brilliantly. We’re very proud of you both💙!
