Ieuenctid Tysul Youth
Web Design

Our purpose is to place young people aged 10-25 at the centre of our thinking, in order to help them fulfill their potential and empower them as individuals. Ieuenctid Tysul Youth is a voluntary youth organisation and registered charity based in Llandysul, West Wales. During the last 23 years, our purpose has evolved to provide a wide range of education and support services to young people irrespective of their race, gender, background or ability. The main focus of our work is to support young people through the transition to adulthood, from dependence to independence. We do this through a comprehensive programme of life skills training, emotional and personal development workshops, volunteering and workplace opportunities and community regeneration and inter-generational activities.Young people are encouraged to participate and to be actively involved in decision making processes and where possible to assume responsibility for organising and delivering the programme.Why the community needs usWe have overseen numerous community regeneration projects, strengthening community cohesion and improving local areas. Our Art in the park project saw the installation of handmade park benches and carved plaques to improve local green spaces. We have also installed tables, picnic benches, flower boxes and bins in an area that is well used by the community as a recreation area.We work closely with local residential homes and the elderly to reduce isolation and improve community cohesion.Our impact on the communityWe support over 100 young people and their families every year many of whom are severely disadvantaged, ruraly isolated and have poor access to support services and developmental opportunities. Many of our beneficiaries become volunteers and engage directly in giving something back to their community by helping others. We provide a safe environment where young people can develop and flourish,develop healthy relationships and improve their longer term life chances through positive role modelling.

Amber valley stroke group
Other

To provide a safe secure environment for stroke survivors & their carer's to meet & socialise, listen to speakers or entertainers. Talk with their peers about their difficulties during recovery from stroke ,and exchange tips & hints to solve mutual problems that stroke presents. Because each stroke is unique there is no one fix for all. Myself has found being part of the group hugely beneficial in building my confidence again after the detestation of a major stroke caused by a severe brain haemorrhage. My difficulties are largely physical with mobility issues and having lost the use of my left arm/hand. .Others in the group have cognitive problems resulting alter thought processing which can be slowed down significantly. in addition there can be emotional changes and hidden neuropathic pain. The old saying " A problem shared is a problem halved.Why the community needs usWe offer a place for stroke survivors & their carer's to come together from with in the local community where they can be part of a group offering an escape from being isolated in their home where they could become depressed and suffer mental health issues on top of having to deal with day to day life living with stroke. Humans are social animals so benefit from being in a group rather than being in isolation. There is strength in numbers springs to mind, so, come be part of our diverse group.Our impact on the communityWhen I joined the group over 6 yr's ago, I had just separated from my then wife. Recovering from not just the effects of the stroke, I was dealing with living alone. For me this group was a lifeline and got me out and about instead of being isolated in a small flat living alone. I soon became involved in running the club using my IT and organisation skills, I had purpose once more. I soon realised I could help others through being part of the group. It literally changed my life. I felt useful.

We work to promote their inclusion by creating opportunities for them to participate fully in city life. We encourage others to view people seeking sanctuary in a positive light, recognising their achievements and contributions to our multi-cultural city.Our impact on the communityIn June of 2011, Bristol was officially launched as a City of Sanctuary, supported by Bristol City Council and local businesses and organisations.

Horden Community Welfare Football Club, Junior Academy and charity
Other

We are a community-based grassroots football club and charity within the community of Horden, County Durham, SR8 4LH.  The community of Horden has experienced significant social and economic problems, with the village now being in the top 3% of the most deprived areas in England and Wales. 23.2% of children under 16 living in families with absolute low income (poverty) in Horden compared with 15.3% nationally. There are very few sports related venues and activities within Horden for children and young people to attend or participate in. They have to travel at least 2-3 km’s to visit the nearest sports centre complex or leisure centre. For other sporting activities it is much further afield. Childhood obesity is on the increase with 29.8% of 11 year olds in Horden obese in comparison with 22.5% in County Durham and 20.0% nationally. 44.6% of 11 year olds in Horden are overweight or obese in comparison with 37.3% in County Durham and 34.2% nationally.The community-based football club was established in 2017, in response to local demand within the community of Horden. Historically, football teams have played on the welfare park for nearly 100 years and it is vitally important to continue with providing the community with a football ground and football training facilities to encourage, children, youth and adults to participate in physical activities and exercise. It will improve opportunities for those participating to be part of “our football community” within Horden either through physical exercise, improving health and well-being, community football participation or through active community engagement e.g. volunteering. We currently have one team within the Northern League Division 2 (adults), a Women's Football Team and 8 Junior Academy teams (6-to-13-year olds)We provide football training and coaching for children, young people and adults within our community using community-based facilities e.g. football ground, changing rooms, community area with kitchen facilities on match days and we have access to an additional field used for training purposes which has floodlights (ideal for use on dark evenings). The men and women's team train at least once a week during the season and we hold competitive league and cup fixtures on a Saturday or mid-week. The Junior Academy teams train twice a week on a Tuesday and Thursday evening.The community football club has 30+  adult men, 30+ adult women and 90+ school aged children (registered)  participating in regular football training, coaching and physical exercise activities in Horden. The community football club in Horden relies on the recruitment of players and participants from children, young people and adults residing within the Horden community and also from the wider community. The community-based football club provides all participants with a sense of community, something they want to belong to, to aspire, to achieve, to be part of a team, to take pride in what they do when they represent the local community within Horden.  As a club we take pride in representing our community.We are actively promoting the community football club within Horden to engage children, young people, girls, boys, adults, ladies and men to participate in physical sport and activities through football.
