What We Do

Youth Forum

We currently have a group of 11 young people aged 11-16, who volunteer their time with us. They are passionate about the community, organising and hosting events within the village and bringing members of the community together, with a multi generational approach. Alongside this, they like to focus on fundraising for our charity; holding regular sponsored fundraisers such as walks, bike rides and stay awakes. The youth forum are a valuable part of our organisation, using their voices and passion not only to support us as a charity but also the community they live in.
