Hello lovely people. Here at the newly created Third Space Youth CIC, we need your help and support. Our mission is to work alongside young people and the wider community to deliver a youth work offer that is relevant, supportive, creative and co-produced. In practice, we are looking to set up youth provision/clubs; a mentoring offer; a street based offer; learning opportunities through arts, music and drama. We will also be offering bespoke sessions in Schools and Training. Our ethos is one that will be based on kindness, inclusivity and harnessing the power of communities. We do not teach; we aim to be anti-colonial and learn from each other. At the risk of launching into a Whitney power ballad "we believe that children are our future .....", you know the rest.
Who are we? We are a group of qualified professionals with a variety of backgrounds ranging from accountancy, cookery, safeguarding, administration, drama, youth work and teaching. We all have day jobs in these areas and believe that we have the skills to make this work.
We are aiming to deliver in Mid and North Essex in the short term.
We need you to walk alongside us on our journey, and we need your help. We are currently applying for funding, and have been successful in securing a small pot to deliver a youth club in Braintree. We need donations to buy items such as games, balls, craft equipment and other resources. If you are kind enough to donate, we will always be transparent and tell you where your hard earned money has been spent.
Many thanks from all of us at The Third Space Youth CIC. Look out for our Newsletter 🙂
