Young People in Northamptonshire
We work with young people of all ages in and out of schools and other educational settings to encourage them to learn, to help them develop as people, and to have inspirational experiences that they will remember for life.
Our youth projects are diverse and range from outdoor learning to youth clubs to coaching and mentoring those who need extra support, what unites them is our belief that every young person can play a positive role in their community.
All young people deserve support to find their path in life, and we believe that young people are a part of the solution when it comes to tackling issues like plastic pollution, falling biodiversity, and the climate crisis.
In 2023 we were awarded lottery funding for our ‘Come Together @ Green Patch’ project. Thanks to this project we have been able to invest in our Kettering based community garden Green Patch, run a host of events and projects with and for young people and recruit new staff and volunteers.
Our Projects
We’re very proud of the work we do with children and young adults. For the very young, we have our Wellies in the Woods which is always hugely popular. It’s outdoor play with under 5’s and their families, and the feedback has been that we’ve opened up whole worlds for people.
Every year, we have a packed schedule of activities for young people, and all of our after-school clubs have been over-subscribed.
