This half term we are excited to be working with Westonbirt Arboretum to run our Wild Westonbirt Evenings. This project aims to provide a group of young people with a safe space to relax and unwind after a busy day at school, to build self esteem, confidence, learn new skills and to connect with nature. We will be taking a group, by mini bus, accompanied by our youth workers to meet with the team at the Arboretum and to spend time in their fantastic community shelter each Tuesday evening. This project will conclude with a celebration event where the young people are invited to bring friends and family to the shelter during the May Half Term holidays to show them around and demonstrate some of the skills they have learnt. We can’t wait to hear how the group has got on.
Alongside this we will be running our usual, increasingly busy, drop in youth sessions and are really hoping that by the time this is being read, it will be dry enough for us to get outside on the Rec.
After a fun-packed Easter holidays including youth drop in sessions, a supported bus trip to Cirencester, Cookery Workshops, an outdoor family play session on The Rec and access passes to Westonbirt Arboretum, we are now looking ahead to May half term and the Summer Holidays.
Please follow us on social media for up-to-date information about our sessions and holiday activities.
We are always looking for volunteers to help support our sessions, no experience necessary just a friendly face with a willingness to help set up and pack away and support activities when needed is all we are looking for. If you think you may be able to help please contact lisa.hoult@tayct.org.uk. It makes a huge difference to us to have that extra pair of hands and will allow us to continue to engage with and support the huge number of young people who are currently accessing our sessions. Please get in touch, we need you!
