BUILDING CONFIDENCE FOR THE FUTURE. ✨

Everyone deserves the opportunity to make friends, try new things and develop skills for life.

Young Leicestershire’s disability and SEND programmes create inclusive spaces where young people can take part, build confidence and develop practical skills as they prepare for adulthood.

From creative activities and music to social experiences and new challenges, every opportunity is about helping young people grow in their own way.

Inclusive support. New experiences. More confidence.

📣 Do you live in South Wigston and want to help make a difference locally?

We’re bringing together local residents, community groups and organisations for a new South Wigston neighbourhood group, and we’d really like more residents to be part of it.

📅 Thursday 5 November

⏰ 12:30–2:00pm

📍 Elliott Hall, 14 Albion Street, South Wigston, LE18 4SA – Upstairs Hall

We want to identify local issues we can realistically do something about, connect residents and organisations who can help, make better use of what’s already available locally, and develop new ideas together to address any gaps.

One idea already being explored is a regular South Wigston Hub at Elliott Hall, creating a friendly place where people can drop in and access different types of advice and support in one place – but that’s just one idea, and we want residents involved in deciding what we focus on next.

You don’t need any professional experience or to represent an organisation. If you live locally, your experience of South Wigston is exactly what we want to hear. We want residents to have an equal voice alongside the organisations involved.

The first meeting will be relaxed and informal. It’s around lunchtime, so feel free to bring some lunch along and we can eat together ☕🥪

♿ The meeting is upstairs, with a stairlift available.

🚗 Parking immediately outside Elliott Hall is very limited. Nearby pay-and-display parking is available at Countesthorpe Road (LE18 4PF) and Station Street (LE18 4TH).

💬 Interested in coming along? Comment below or send me a message and I’ll get in touch with the details.

Please feel free to share with anyone in South Wigston who might be interested.

📣 Come along to our next Residents' Forums taking place this October and share your views!

A councillor surgery will take place immediately before the forums in Wigston and South Wigston, starting at 6.30pm on Wednesday 14 October and 6.30pm on Wednesday 28 October.

To send agenda items, please email [email protected] or call 0116 257 2675.

MEETING YOUNG PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE. 📍

Youth work doesn’t always happen inside a building.

Young Leicestershire’s detached youth workers go out into local communities — from rural villages to urban neighbourhoods — to connect with young people in the places they know.

By building trust, listening to what young people have to say and understanding the challenges they face, youth workers can provide support that’s relevant to each community.

It’s about being present, building relationships and creating opportunities.
