Wow, what an exciting day of youth work!

We had 10 new members at Youth Club on Monday. The Community Room was a hive of activity – pool; table tennis; hama beads; bacon/cheese wheels being baked; connect 4; football on the muga; activity on the gym equipment – I love seeing young people having fun with friends!

Then, the Generation Game project kicked off at 6pm. 14 amazing young people came along. They’ve all got to know each other; started their portfolios; enjoyed hot chocolate and doughnuts – and started collating information about the older people they know.

Having checked my work phone and email since – I can list 10 young people who have signed up for the Level One Youth Work Course. If you’re interested, hurry up and book your place!

So, to summarise, I love my job! The young people around here are awesome – well done to the parents who have done their job well. It’s a pleasure to offer projects and opportunities to enhance their skills and knowledge!
