“Can we go somewhere different this year?”

It started with a simple idea from one of our young people.

Rather than stopping at the question, they researched beaches, wrote a proposal, and presented it to our trustees. The proposal was approved, and yesterday Lauren and Aron went to Rest Bay, Porthcawl, braving the wind and rain, to carry out the risk assessment, and start planning the trip.

This is what Youth in the Lead looks like. Young people shaping the activities, opportunities, and experiences they want to be part of, while we support them to turn ideas into reality.

Now we just need the weather to be a little kinder when we return this summer! 🌊☀️

Keep an eye on our page. We’ll be revealing our summer programme and trips very soon. 👀

💛 A Busy Couple of Weeks at CYP 💛

We’ve had a busy couple of weeks with plenty of art, games, food and laughter.

There have been a few birthday celebrations, lots of exam revision, plenty of music, and more than a few competitive games.

Most importantly, young people have continued to make CYP what it is, a place to catch up with friends, try new things, and be part of a community.

A lot has happened, and we wouldn’t have it any other way 💛

As part of Volunteers’ Week, we want to say a huge thank you to every single person who gives their time to support Colwall Youth Project. 💙

From our dedicated trustees who work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the charity can continue to grow, to our youth group volunteers, event helpers, fundraisers, and everyone who lends a hand when needed, you are all an essential part of what we do. ⭐

We would also like to give a special mention to one of our incredible volunteers, Maggie. 🌟 Week in, week out, Maggie is there, giving her time, energy, kindness, and unwavering support to our young people and team. Volunteers like Maggie are the heartbeat of charities like ours, and without people like her, much of the work we do simply would not be possible.

Every session we run, every opportunity we create, and every young person we support is only possible because of the people who choose to give their time to others. 🙌

To all of our volunteers: thank you. Your commitment makes a real difference, and we are incredibly grateful for everything you do. 💙

🌱 We’re incredibly excited to announce that Colwall Youth Project has been awarded £20,000 from The National Lottery Community Fund through the Awards for All Environmental programme to launch our new project, "Growing Futures"!

This exciting new initiative will give young people opportunities to get involved in environmental activities, food growing, conservation work, outdoor learning, and community projects in partnership with all while building confidence, improving wellbeing, and developing practical life skills. 🌿💚

The funding will support a dedicated Environmental Youth Worker and help us create regular sessions and community activities focused on sustainability, connection, and positive change.
Growing Futures is about much more than environmental work, it’s about empowering young people, strengthening community relationships, and creating a greener, healthier future for everyone. 🌍

A huge thank you to The National Lottery Community Fund and to National Lottery players for making projects like this possible. Your support will make a lasting difference to young people and our community. 🙌

🎉 BIG NEWS FOR OUR COMMUNITY 🎉

Colwall Youth Project is delighted to announce that we have been awarded £363,218 from The National Lottery Community Fund over the next three years to deliver our new project:



💛 LET US SING 💛

Thanks to National Lottery players, this funding will help us provide vital youth work across rural communities in Herefordshire and the Malvern Hills, creating safe spaces, trusted relationships, and life changing opportunities for young people.

Through Let Us Sing, CYP will deliver:

✨ Open access youth groups
✨ Mental health and wellbeing support
✨ SPARC Club for LGBTQ+ and marginalised young people
✨ Skills for Life mentoring and employability support
✨ Rural outreach through our Empowerment Roadshow
✨ One-to-one support for young people in crisis
✨ Youth leadership and volunteering opportunities

This investment means young people across our rural location will have greater access to inclusive, youth-led support where services are often limited or difficult to reach.

Over the next three years, we will continue building stronger communities where young people feel heard, empowered, safe, and able to thrive.

A huge THANK YOU to players for making this possible. 💙

We are delighted to announce that Colwall Youth Project has been awarded two significant grants from The Eveson Trust amounting to £162,000.

The Eveson Trust has been a long-standing supporter of CYP, and we are incredibly grateful for their continued belief in our work and investment in the young people of our community. Their generosity and partnership continue to make a lasting difference.

The first grant of £12,000 will fund the first year’s rent at Station Yard, our new home, and an exciting new chapter for CYP. This support provides a secure and welcoming base from which we can continue to grow our services and create opportunities for local young people.

In addition, we are thrilled to have received a multi-year award of £150,000 to support the employment of a dedicated mental health youth worker, alongside vital sustainability costs over the next three years. This funding will strengthen our ability to provide consistent, high-quality support to young people, particularly at a time when access to mental health services and safe community spaces has never been more important.

Together, these grants represent a major investment in the future of Colwall Youth Project and will go a long way in helping us continue to support, empower and inspire young people across our community.

Thank you, Eveson Trust, for your ongoing support and commitment to CYP.

🌱 Skills4Life – Bringing the Allotment Back to Life 🌱💛

Over the last couple of weeks, our Skills4Life group have been hard at work bringing our allotment back to life. From rotavating, weeding and clearing debris, all the way to growing plants in pots and planting our very first rhubarb, young people have been getting stuck into every part of the process.

It is about so much more than gardening. It is about spending time in nature, learning practical skills, understanding where food comes from, and exploring how we can better care for the environment around us.

On our walks down to the Colwall Orchard Group, we have also enjoyed spotting the lambs, listening to the birds, and simply enjoying each other’s company in nature. Those quiet moments of connection are just as important as the practical work itself.

There is something powerful about watching young people grow confidence while growing something with their own hands. Slowly, this little space is becoming somewhere full of life, learning and community 💛

🎡 Empowerment Roadshow – May Fair 🎡💛

Would we really be a Herefordshire youth project if we didn’t make a trip to the Hereford May Fair?

This week was all about fun, connection and shared experience, exploring a fair that has been part of Hereford for over 900 years. We even managed to sneak in a bit of history, learning how it originally helped fund the building of Hereford Cathedral.

But more than anything, this trip was about helping young people feel safe and confident in busy environments. Learning how to navigate crowds, talk to new people, and enjoy the atmosphere together.

And of course, it would not be the May Fair without a few rides, plenty of laughter and young people just enjoying being together.

A brilliant evening of culture, confidence and community 💛

💛 SPARC Club – Conversation Night 💛

This week at SPARC Club was all about understanding who you are.

We explored what it means to be introverted or extroverted, how to recognise where you fit, and just as importantly, how to understand others. Why some people need more space, why some thrive in conversation, and how we learn to respect those differences.

A big part of the evening was also looking at equality and equity. Understanding that treating everyone the same is not always fair, and that sometimes people need different things to feel supported and included.

It was powerful to see those moments where it just clicked. Young people recognising themselves, understanding others, and having honest conversations about it all.

That is what SPARC Club is about. Starting conversations, building understanding, and being true to who we are 💛
