We had a fun time at Southwater Infant & Junior Academies PTFA summer fayre yesterday, was lovely to meet lots of people and say hi, this week lots happening Southwater Youth Project
Tuesday we have our bronze and silver DofE teams/groups all preparing for their final expedition in a few weeks time,
Wednesday night we have our youth hangout, for those in school years 8 upwards, But for the rest of this term we are inviting those in year 7 to also come along too 😀
Thursday we have out afterschool children's hangout for those youngsters in school years 3-6
Friday is art club for those in school yrs 3-6
Followed by junior youth club for those in school years 5-7. Normally I would be inviting those going into year 5 in Sept to come along and try out junior youth club on a friday night this term, BUT sadly WE just don't have enough volunteers to enable that to happen this term. We are in need of volunteers to enable us to continue to run the sessions for children and young people to experience, so please if you feel you could offer some help, once a week, once a fortnight or once a month we would love to hear from you. Have a great week 😀

We are so lucky to have an amazing team of volunteers who help support and do the work of SYP, next week is volunteer week and we would love to welcome new members on to our team. Maybe you would love to get involved in the work of SYP but feel that face to face youth and children's work isn't for you, that's OK because we still need and want you... We are looking for volunteers to come and join the board of trustees, people with a passion for youth and children's work, who can help govern and along with the rest of the board and safeguard the work of SYP. If you think you would like to be involved why not get in touch and find out more.

Well what a day, I'm still kinda in awe of the day. The photos don't do it justice, it was such an inspiring day, hearing inspirational speeches/talks, a yummy cupcake and tea (well i had water as i don't like tea 😀) Military brass bands, and the lovely gardens. it was a great time for me to remember my own Gold DofE experience and the many many memories of the various groups here at Southwater Youth Project who have completed their bronze and silver awards.
And after such a special day, I'm now getting ready for our current bronze and silver groups practice expedition this bank holiday weekend.😀

This mental health awareness week is a good time to remind you that we don't just running sessions, we can offer one to one pastoral/mentoring support to any young person. Offering space to talk, be creative, let of steam or just be. Space for you to be.
