Community Connect Foundation – Easter Egg Tastic

Community Connect Foundation is a local organisation, offering exciting services for both adults and young people. Join us for opportunities to learn new skills and connect with your community!

We want to offer as many opportunities as possible to the young people, therefore creating an impact and noticing a difference in a young person’s character and skills ability. We want to see young people engage in fun and interactive activities, as its the holiday period, instead of young people sitting at home, we want them to stay active, eat well and be social and engage with their peers, build on their social and character development skills. Our centre is ideally situated to create that environment as we have trained staff and centre provision with all the youth club resources for young people to use and learn whilst having fun and rewarding time at our centre. Our enrichment activities include physical as well as education allowing young people to extend on their capacity and broaden their understanding and knowledge. We want young people to eat well, stay fit and healthy, and exercise their mind as well as their body. We will promote healthy eating at the club, create a culturally inclusive food and drink environment. Create positive eating habits. These activities are an excellent way for young people to develop an appreciation for a variety of foods. We will provide a number of issue and target based workshops, provide mentoring sessions and life coaching sessions for young people moving on from primary age to secondary age to young adulthood.

We are community based, most of our young people live in close proximity to the centre, easily accessible and open to all groups. We have trained youth staff who support and encourage young people to build their confidence.

Our community centre is committed to inclusivity, welcoming individuals of all backgrounds, regardless of ethnicity, religion, gender, or beliefs. We have actively reached out to hard-to-reach individuals, carried out outreach work, and recruited for various projects.

We have trained and experienced youth staff who have many years experience with young people with varying abilities. We have served young people with special needs, some with physical disabilities to and challenging behaviours. Our centre has accessible toilet facilities, tables and chairs. We also have spare room available for 121 support, space available for extra privacy, staff are knowledgeable in signposting and referring to other service providers, such as health and social care, education needs, employment, training and welfare. We will carry out assessment on an individual basis considering the additional needs required such as staff awareness and resources availability.

Our service caters to people of all ages, including young people and older adults. We prioritise inclusion and have made efforts to integrate new immigrants into our community.
