What an amazing day supporting Summer’s mission and working with young people in our community, making such a big difference 😀 💫💫

WOW… what a day! 🥹💖🌼

Today’s cake sale was an absolute sell out! I had my best friend Olivia helping and my sister Georgie . 🧁🍪🍫✨

We started the day at my grandma & grandads house, so a huge thank you to you both for letting us take over and helping make it all possible 💕🏡

Later, we moved to the Lifestyle Centre, where the amazing WCHG Youth Team - BCyA helped me sell out completely. Thank you all so much for your support, encouragement and hard work 🫶🏻✨

A massive thank you to everyone who donated cakes, brownies, cookies and sweet treats. This cake sale simply wouldn’t have happened without your kindness and generosity 💖

Thank you also to the people who donated money without even taking a cake. Your kindness really means so much and helped support an amazing cause 🌼💕

I’ve had the most amazing day, although I’m definitely very tired now 😂🥱

Thank you to everyone who came along, bought cakes, shared my posts and supported Maggie's Manchester Maggie's Centres.

I’ll be revealing the grand total raised from today’s cake sale very soon… 👀✨💖

🌟 What is Youth Work… and why does it matter? 🌟

At WCHG Youth Team, youth work isn’t just an activity — it’s a space, a support system, and a community where young people can grow into who they’re meant to be.

Youth work means:

- Creating safe spaces where young people feel heard, respected, and valued
- Building confidence through real conversations, new experiences, and positive role models
- Supporting wellbeing with guidance, encouragement, and someone who genuinely cares
- Developing skills for life, work, friendships, and the future
- Having fun — because joy, creativity, and laughter matter too

Youth work is where young people discover their strengths, explore their passions, and realise they’re capable of more than they ever imagined.

💬 If you’re 11–19 and want a place to belong, learn, chill, and be yourself — come join us.
We’re here for you, every step of the way.

This week is Greater Manchester Youth Work Week and we’re backing the launch of the campaign.

It brings together youth organisations from across Greater Manchester to shine a spotlight on the life-changing impact of youth work across the region and beyond.

See Jake, Aubree, Ellie and Carter thrive, and find out more about the youth workers who helped make it happen: https://youthalliancegm.co.uk/see-youth-work-differently/

---

✨ Here in , we’re proud to be part of that story.

As the WCHG Youth Team, we see every day how powerful youth work can be — the confidence it builds, the friendships it creates, and the opportunities it opens up.

💬 Whether we’re running open-access sessions, offering one‑to‑one support, doing outreach in the community or just being someone to talk to, we’re here to help young people feel supported, safe and ready to take on whatever comes next.

🌟 Youth Work Week is the perfect time to celebrate the amazing young people we work with — and the impact youth work has right across Wythenshawe.

The See Youth Work Differently campaign challenges you to rethink ‘youth work’ and recognise the vital role our sector plays in supporting young people to thrive.
