I've raised £5000 to raise money for the Chilypep Young People's Support Fund, the Barnsley Hub and Chilypep in general.
Organised by Chilypep
Story
The young people in the Connection's Hub Steering group came up with some amazing ideas to raise money for Chilypep, particularly the Young People's Support Fund which supports young people in need and to buy essential items to help them live their lives, like food, shelter, furniture and wellbeing items.

Chilypep is a youth empowerment charity. Chilypep is all about raising the voice of children and young people in Sheffield, Barnsley and wider! Chilypep works alongside children and young people to find fun and creative ways of involving them in the decisions that affect their lives. Chilypep's aim is to ensure that children and young people can be meaningfully involved in the decisions that affect their lives as individuals, as receivers of services, and as members of their communities, neighbourhoods and the wider world.
“I never thought I'd be so involved in anything like this and I know me and my entire family are so proud. In a way I am still that shy 13-year-old girl but I've grown up and learned the value of my voice and I owe a lot of that to Chilypep” – Mia, age 17
