Something exciting is coming!!🌊

We recently teamed up with Cheshire's archives: for a very interesting project! Together with local young people, we delved into the archives to uncover the rich history of the River Weaver and brought its story to life through a collaborative animation.

Well done to everyone who joined us on this project, the results are amazing!! Full animation coming soon, so keep your eyes peeled!👀

🏆 Charlie is our Maker of the Month!

Whether it's a youth club, a HAF camp or a guest session with another community group, Charlie has been a familiar face at our clubs and workshops for years. Wherever we go in St Helens, we know Charlie will be there! 💛

Charlie is a committed attendee who always shows up and gives everything a go. He is also brilliant at making new faces feel welcome and included, which makes a real difference to our sessions.

It has been lovely to see Charlie grow over the years into the young person he is today!! Well done, Charlie🤗

Meet April’s Maker of the Month!🏆

This month, Sean has nominated Manaswi for her brilliant attitude throughout our Luminate sessions. She’s been consistently engaged, hardworking, dedicated and polite, and has really stood out as a calm in the storm when things get tricky with coding.

She approaches every session with focus and determination, and it’s been fantastic to see her confidence grow week by week.👏

Well done, Manaswi!!

As always, a huge thank you to everyone who joined us throughout April, you’ve all been amazing 💛
