📸 This is what a year of getting stuck in looks like!

Over the past year, we’ve welcomed 9,000 visitors through the doors of Skills Street and our camera roll has plenty to show for it! 🎂

We’re talking bridges built, flights piloted, challenges solved and plenty of determined faces along the way. From the excitement of arriving in a new zone to the concentration when a team’s trying to get something just right, there’s been so much worth capturing. 🙌

Whether someone came with their school, joined us for a family event or visited on behalf of local businesses, they’ve helped turn Skills Street into a place full of energy, ideas and possibility!

As part of our birthday week, we’ve picked out a few snapshots of those visits. Choosing just a handful wasn’t easy! 💛

9,000 visitors in our first year. Who’s joining us in year two? 👀

🎂 One year of Skills Street. So many moments to celebrate! 🎉

From welcoming our first visitors to seeing young people discover talents they never knew they had, our first year has been full of curiosity, creativity and hands-on fun. 💚

Every challenge tackled, career explored and “I did it!” moment is a reminder of why we do what we do... helping young people build confidence, recognise their skills and imagine what their futures could hold. 🌟

We couldn’t have done it without our brilliant team, supportive partners and all the schools, families and visitors who have brought Skills Street to life. Thank you for being part of our story! 🙌
