🌟 A big well done to Andra for her work placement with NAYC!
Over the past few weeks, she has grown in confidence, getting involved in sessions across Northamptonshire and building great connections with young people. From a quiet first session to leading activities and supporting others, her progress has been fantastic to see.
We’re proud of everything she’s achieved and wish her all the very best for the future! 🌱

Volunteers’ Week Thank You Message
As we celebrate Volunteers’ Week, we want to take a moment to recognise and thank every volunteer who gives their time, energy and heart to supporting young people across our youth groups.
Your commitment makes a real and lasting difference. Whether you are leading activities, offering a listening ear, organising behind the scenes, or simply showing up week after week—you are helping to create safe, welcoming spaces where young people can grow in confidence, build friendships, and realise their potential.
So much of what happens in youth work is only possible because of you. Your kindness, patience, creativity and encouragement do not go unnoticed. You are an essential part of our community, and we are deeply grateful for all that you do.
During this Volunteers’ Week, we celebrate you and the difference you make—thank you for being such a valued part of the journey.
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” – Galatians 6:9
