Youth Connect South West

Great to see how the building has progressed since our last visit. Many thanks to Leighton McCarthy and his colleagues from RED Construction Group who took time to show Youth Connect South West enthusiastic young people around the site. Leighton and his team spent time explaining routes into construction, answering many great questions and inspiring the next generation of sparkies, brickies and roofers. Also thankyou to Laura Knight who has helped to bring our organisations together to increase routes into construction.

Lovely to be back in Weston Super Mare to catch up with the amazing Georgia Wilde. Thank you Gemma Perkins to allow me to share my thoughts on the Effective Transition Fund from the Career Coach view. It was a privilege to deliver the programme and get to know the young people. It is great that Youth Connect South West is all set for the next installment of the ETF programme.

🎉 We’re thrilled to reflect on our 5th Annual Young People's Awards! 🎉 This event is a heartfelt celebration of the incredible achievements and resilience of young people in our community. Each story we shared reflected personal growth, perseverance, and the impact of their hard work. Whether overcoming significant challenges or reaching a range of goals, every young person recognised deserves a moment in the spotlight. This year was extra special as we celebrated our 5th anniversary at Bath Spa University. Hosted by Bath Spa University Students' Union President Jas Raymond-Barker and our own Head of Operations, Sam Plummer, the evening also honoured our dedicated volunteers and student placements who make a lasting difference. Join us as we look back on an inspiring night, meet our amazing winners, and relive the best moments.

We were thrilled to receive this lovely card from a young person involved in our Street 2 Studio project, addressed to our amazing music worker, Flash! 🎶✨ "Dear Flash, I just wanted to say a big thank you for the work you did with me on the Street 2 Studio project! You helped me reignite my love for music, as well as teaching me how to produce. The work I achieved under you massively boosted my confidence. I plan to continue producing at uni through a music society. Thank you so much." This message is a reminder of the incredible impact youth workers have in shaping young people's lives.
