Youth work changes lives.

We welcome the Government's commitment to fund 1,000 new youth worker roles, recognising the vital role youth work plays in helping young people build confidence, develop skills and overcome barriers to education, training and employment.

Every day across London, YMCA St Paul's Youth Project supports young people to improve their wellbeing, build confidence and take positive steps towards brighter futures.

This investment is a positive step towards strengthening youth services and helping more young people access the support they need to thrive.

This week we gathered at our beautiful YMCA Hawker Centre in Kingston for our annual Flourish Fest event, now in its eighth year.

More than just a wellbeing day, Flourish Fest celebrates our values and what it means to be loving, person-centred, community-focused, holistic and hopeful. It reflects our belief that people flourish when they feel valued, supported, connected and able to bring their whole selves to work.

From Pilates and massages to riverside walks, sports day activities and time spent catching up with colleagues over a burger and delicious BBQ lunch- there was something for everyone. Staff particularly valued the wide range of activities, the relaxed atmosphere, the opportunity to connect with colleagues, and the stunning location along the Thames.

A fantastic day of wellbeing, connection and community, and a reminder to take time for ourselves and each other.
