BETWEEN NOW AND THEN WE PLAN ON:

- CREATING AWARENESS AND ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO GET OUTDOORS.
- CREATING A SAFE AND UNDERSTANDING ENVIRONMENT FOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES.
- STARTING A CONVERSATION AMONG 16-25-YEAR-OLDS AS WE’VE REALISED THAT THERE IS A LACK OF UNDERSTANDING THAT IT’S OKAY TO TALK WITHIN THAT AGE BRACKET.
- GETTING OUT TO SCHOOLS AND GROUPS TO DO SESSIONS AND PRESENTATIONS ACROSS OUR AREAS AND OPTIMISING OUR MAIN 4 ASPECTS OF LIFE - WORK, HEALTH, LEARNING AND SOCIAL.
- SET UP FUN CHALLENGES AND COMPETITIONS TO GET EVERYONE INVOLVED AS A TEAM.
- CREATE AN ATMOSPHERE FOR PEOPLE NO MATTER HOW THEY’RE FEELING.

​

WE WANT TO REMAIN RUN AND LED BY YOUNG PEOPLE AND HAVE SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE AND CHANGE WITHIN. EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO BE A PART OF AND TO GAIN ACCESS TO OUR SERVICES. WE USE OUR EXPERIENCES AND KNOWLEDGE TO CHANGE AND SHAPE NOT ONLY OUR FUTURE BUT OTHER YOUNG PEOPLES FUTURES TOO.

EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT WAYS OF DEALING WITH THINGS. SOME WANT TO TALK ABOUT THEM AND GET THEM OUT THERE. OTHERS WANT TO PUT THEM AWAY AND MOVE ON. SOMETIMES JUST BEING HERE WITH A SMILE IS ENOUGH.
