I'm raising £480 to keep the Youth Club at the Shack
Organised by Sam Roddan
Story
My life has changed since I coming here."
We're raising money for the Youth Club at The Shack. Currently it will shut in June.
Every Wednesday between 25-40 teens join Art Pop-Up at The Shack (180 young people in the last year). It's the ONLY free provision for teens in Stamford. It's a safe, non-judgemental, chilled and fun space where everyone is welcome.
I'd be devastated if this place closed, there's nowhere else for us."
Run by 2 professional youth workers, we also support some young people with a wide range of challenges, from food poverty to mental health and other worries - alongside some other significant issues.
We work with some of Stamford's most disadvantaged young people. Financial insecurity is something that many face every day, it's heart-breaking that they are impacted when seeking a safe space too. We need to keep the youth club open.
It makes us feel abandoned. "
Please help us show them this is not the case.
We provide food every week for those who need it, mentoring and activities that develop
life skills and empower our teens. PLEASE help us build a community where every young person has the chance to reach their full potential.
