Back at the New York Stadium. Great effort from the morning group with respect and confidence building throughout. It gives us massive confidence in our working practice when we return and see the development in action.
Thanks to Jonathan Allen and the staff at New York Stadium for providing a safe environment for young people to develop and learn new skills.
Recent results on the pitch outline the dedication of the sporting staff, the same ambition is mirrored in the way that the trust engage with the community.
A privilege for us to be asked to return and play our part, looking forward to seeing you again soon.
I’ve loved it today and I would really like to do this again. E. B. age 8
Over 150 session attendances over the past week. Great to be teaming up with Active Fusion again.
Creating partnerships is vital for the work we do in the community and it is a special feeling to be able to support our local area.
One of the children today stated that he didn’t like music before the session began, but went on to contribute well with the group and engaged well with technology.
We have encountered this a few times over the years and showing young people that they can do things that they don’t feel confident about is important to us.
We are not going to pass on 24 years of experience in a short period of time, but we can show them that there is a place for them in the world of music.
Returning to join up with Active Fusion has given us the opportunity to build on the foundations of our previous work on communication and respect. We moved on to exploring music from around the world to coincide with the commonwealth games. The young people benefitted from being allowed to experiment with instruments from far and wide which in many cases they are experiencing for the first time. We believe in giving opportunity by removing barriers of cost and geographic location.
We will be back supporting Active Fusion again soon, big thanks to the staff as always for making me feel part of the team and thanks to the young people for their effort and enthusiasm.
Recently we have completed a 6 week programme in Askern.
The dynamic of families engaging together has been so valuable. We have been supported by Well Doncaster to provide our sessions free for the participants.
It was rewarding to experience parents getting involved in jamming, songwriting and DJing. At first some were a little bit reluctant to get involved, but after some gentle encouragement they began to flow with ideas and we explored what we liked about the local area, later discussing what we would like to see to develop it.
Although our sessions are about fun, we are able to provide them for free through support from Well Doncaster. They have recognised our focus on health and development through our partnerships with Active Fusion and EXPECT Youth.
Personally it was good to further engage with the homeschooling community. After working with young people for the past 9 years we have come to understand being a teacher and a mum or dad must be a challenge.
Over the course of the 6 weeks we had a couple of real success stories. One of which was one of the mums who had started a new job, received training and was pumping ideas out about growing fruit in the community to support wellbeing.
Thanks to all who attended and Thanks to Isiasha who is passionate about rebuilding the community and is prepared to stand up for local residents.
If you are interested in boosting prospects, promoting wellbeing, and learning skills, We are welcoming young people to our groups at Bentley Myplace on Wednesday from 6.00pm and Carcroft Bullcroft Memorial Hall on Thursdays from 4.00pm
