We are college students trying to make a difference for the youth of today, we are raising money for the patch youth centre for the charity SouthernBrooks. we plan on walking a mile per every £2 donated up to £100 and after £100, 1 mile per every £5. If people donate £10 at a time, we will walk the second mile backwards! we are hoping to raise at least £100 as this is something we are extremely passionate about.
The youth patch centre help to provide a service to enable young people to achieve their full potential, they provide a range of activities for young people, providing sessions for learning, fun and growth. These services are vital for young people especially in the current situation with covid.
Due to the impacts of covid on the patch Youth Centre, the club has had to loose 2 sessions a week due to the low funding and the change in rent prices. We want to raise money to enable the centre to stay open and be able to help these young people stay happy and reach their full potential.
Here's a brief story about someone who recently attended a session provided by the youth centre:When David (*identity has been changed) first started coming to The Patch youth centre, his behaviour was very erratic and hyperactive. He wouldn’t listen to any of the staff when asked to carry out a task. Over a period of a few weeks one of our Youth Workers gained his trust and built a positive relationship with David, setting small tasks to focus on.
As David's confidence grew, he began to interact with the other club members and started taking part in activities, using his interest in cooking to take a lead in the kitchen. Coming to the youth centre has had a positive effect on both David’s home and school life. His parents have thanked us for the work we have done, and he now participates in more after school activities and helps around the home - particularly in the kitchen!
Every penny donated will go directly to The Patch Youth Centre.
