We've spent the week going over coping mechanisms, the supportive people in our lives, the positive impact of sports, the importance of talking through & sharing problems, and having a safe space at Network. #WorldMentalHealthDay

After getting some detailed feedback from our young people we were able to plan their week-long party with their ideas and have had a blast celebrating our NYA achievement. They asked for team games, modeling & painting clay, designing costumes with Hull Truck Theatre (thanks for coming Charlotte), and, of course, extra grub haha!
The community were super excited to organise and put together their own VJ Day celebration at Network; making the decorations, the food, coming up with the crafts, and making sure to invite everyone in their community to celebrate the day. It was great to let them lead on their own project, supporting them when necessary and listening to their ideas and needs throughout the process.    What a day! Thank you to everyone that dropped in, we had an amazing time celebrating our achievement of the National Youth Agency Quality Mark at the Outstanding Level with our young people, service users and other organisations Young people's voices are at the heart of our project so we're grateful to be acknowledged for the work we do but also to be able to continue it and we couldn't do it without our fantastic volunteers We had possibly our favourite week so far celebrating Jamaican culture with the group! The food was delicious, the music was blasting, the games had everyone up and moving, everyone was having a fab time together, and the decorations they'd been making the weeks before looked great. We're so excited to keep this project going; it's going to be difficult to top this one! The group enjoyed some grub in their picnic and hand painting tulips on Tuesday. We had some great music playing and everyone was smiling! We are delighted to have achieved the NYA Quality Mark at Outstanding Level. To have the impact and quality of our work with young people recognised in this way is a fantastic achievement for the whole team!  It's the first month of the Parents & Toddlers Group's new project looking into and celebrating cultures from around the world and they decided to start off with Greece. They cooked and tried delicious classic Greek food, painted classic Grecian vases, tried on their very own togas, and had a dance to some great music! Overall, it's been a great start and its gotten us all super excited for the next month and the next country to delve into. We had a blast during the Wellbeing Morning earlier this week! It was great talking to the organisations that came, getting to make Easter wreaths, and partaking in a community pool tournament! |
