Our Girls’ Group is more than just a weekly session. It’s a space where girls can be themselves, build friendships, express how they feel, learn new things and simply enjoy being together.

In this video, the girls share in their own words what the group means to them and the difference it has made in their lives.

From feeling more confident and supported to having a space where they feel safe, happy, and accepted, their voices remind us why creating spaces like this matters.

Our founder, Dr Helen Gatenby will is hosting a six-week detached youth work training.

The aim of the training is that by the end six weeks, workers will be able to safely start detached youth work in familiar neighbourhoods and begin the process of detached youth work ‘reconnaissance’ in unfamiliar neighbourhoods. Workers will be able to initiate conversations on the street with young people they do not know, work according to Manchester’s Detached Youth Work Common Protocols and critically reflect and record their practice.

Further information is on the flyer.

For the last year our youth forum have met fortnightly to discuss what issues affect young people in the community and what they could do to help tackle those issues. The question “why do young people carry knives” became a concern that the group began understanding, looking at personal reasons as well as systemic influences.

The group decided to create a resource that could help young people if they were ever a victim or close to someone who had been stabbed. It was exhibited during Knife Crime awareness week alongside an event for the community.

Have a look! Please share with friends and family far and wide. 🙏🏾❤️
