🎉 WHAT A DAY FOR HACKNEY — AND FOR HACKNEY QUEST 🎉

We’re absolutely buzzing after yesterday’s local elections!

HUGE congratulations to Zoe Garbett — former Hackney Quest volunteer — now officially our new Mayor of Hackney! 💚 From giving her time with our young people to leading the whole borough. What a journey. We’re so behind you, Zoe, and know you’ll bring the same energy, care and commitment to Hackney that you showed with us.

And to Dylan Law — our new Deputy Mayor!!! Dylan has been part of the Hackney Quest family since he was 8 years old. A 20-year-old young Black man from Hackney, one of our young leaders, exceptionally intelligent, kind, and full of passion to make change.
To see him step up as a representative of the community he serves is everything we do this for. Dylan, we are SO proud of you. You prove what young people from Hackney can achieve when they’re supported and believed in.

What a team. What a moment for youth voice in Hackney.

Well done to the entire Green Party and to everyone who stood yesterday — all candidates, all parties. Democracy takes courage. We also want to thank the outgoing councillors we’ve worked with over the years. Your tireless work for Hackney hasn’t gone unnoticed — we appreciate each and every one of you.

At Hackney Quest, we see every day what young people are capable of. Today, the whole borough sees it too.

Here’s to a Hackney that listens to young people, invests in community, and keeps fighting for better 💪💚

We had a fantastic three day youth leadership residential this Easter holidays wonderful residential centre Woodrow.
The young people applied for Youth opportunity fund to do this. We had 12 youth leaders ages between 14 to 22 who put a lot of effort across the three days to develop their skills, increase their knowledge and step out of their comfort zones.
We are so excited to have this group of young people go on to be wonderful youth leaders across our programmes at Hackney Quest ☺️

Last night we had a wonderful evening at youth awards. Three of our amazing young people won awards. Two won senior volunteer award for their amazing volunteering in Jamaica helping with Hurricane Melisa relief and another came runner up for the junior inspirational young person award. We are so proud of all of them. It was such a wonderful evening to see so many amazing young people celebrated and recognise their incredible achievements ☺️👏🏼👏🏼

Last night we held our Hackney Quest AGM – and what a brilliant evening it was!

We had a fantastic turnout from trustees, staff, volunteers and young people of Hackney Quest. It was so special to see so many people who care about our community coming together in one room 💛

One of the highlights of the evening was our Trustee Board spending real time with our young people – hearing directly from them about what Hackney Quest means in their lives, the support they’ve received, and the opportunities they’ve been part of.

In return, our young people got to learn what it actually means to be a trustee – the responsibility, the governance, and the leadership behind the scenes that keeps Hackney Quest strong and sustainable. It was powerful to see those conversations happening across generations.

For an organisation that has been supporting our community for 36 years, evenings like this remind us why we do what we do – building relationships, creating positive life experiences and connecting young people with great role models.

Best AGM ever! 🙌

Thank you to everyone who came, contributed and continues to champion Hackney Quest. ✨
