On Sunday 16th March, we were pleased to see three runners from Noble Performs sign up to the Bath Half Marathon to raise money for Young Bristol!

‍

The Bath Half Marathon is a 13 mile race, with the course following a two-lap route through the heart of Bath. The race is known for its scenic views and great spectator support, being one of the UK's most popular races.

‍

"The energy and crowds were amazing! It was fantastic to run for Young Bristol, who are making such a positive impact for young people across the city."

‍

It has been amazing to see the team from Noble Performs prepare for this challenge over the last few months. Thank you Andrew, Anna and Kate for taking part in the Bath Half Marathon in aid of Young Bristol!

This week, we were delighted to invite the team from Leggwork to BS14 Youth Club, where four employees dedicated their day to help us improve our facilities for young people!

‍

During their voluntary day, the volunteers from Leggwork painted around the door frames and the skirtings in the main space at club. The team also painted our newly created meeting and quite space. This has helped us to brighten the inside facilities at BS14 Youth Club, helping to create a well-respected, safe area for young people.

‍

Thank you to the team from Leggwork for your continued support!

This month, two incredible trainees from Young Bristol's Outdoor Employment Programme joined Super Sliders Ice Sports Foundation in St Moritz, Switzerland to take part in their Gold programme!

‍

Our Outdoor Employment Programme has been involved with the SuperSliders Ice Sports Foundation since 2022, where a number of trainees have been involved with and taken part in their Bronze and Silver Programmes at Bath Univeristy's bobsleigh track. Dan and Jack, two Outdoor Employment Programme trainees, took their sliding experience to the next level, being offered to complete their 'Gold Control' award at the Olympia Bobsleigh run in Switzerland!

‍

Over their three day trip in Switzerland, they completed seven runs of the track, tackling speeds of over 100km/h and incredibly tight corners, covering 1.7 km in under 90 seconds! Dan and Jack were awarded with the 'Gold Control' certificate for their time and efforts across the week!

‍

"Thanks Phil from Young Bristol and the Super Sliders team for the amazing experience, it's been phenomenal. Definitely a week to remember, one thing I'll miss is that morning ice track walk and going down it at 70mph plus the views."

‍

Jack, Outdoor Employment Programme Trainee

‍

We would like to extend a huge thank you to Super Sliders ISF, who have made this once in a lifetime opportunity possible for our trainees! If you would like to find out more about how you can get involved with our Outdoor Employment Programme, click here!

At Young Bristol, we are committed to continuing our mission of supporting young people by providing safe places, a supportive environment, and activities and opportunities where young people can feel empowered, included and not alone!

‍

We are pleased to welcome the Governments development of a new ten-year National Youth Strategy to tackle the challenges for this generation of young people, and ensure that every young person can thrive.

‍

Young people aged 10 – 21 (aged 25 with SEND), are being encouraged to take part in this once-in-a-generation strategy, bringing the power back to young people and their communities, and improving youth focused services.

‍

It is vital that we encourage young people to use their voice, ensuring that they remain at the core of what we do.

‍

Your future is on the menu! Tell the Government what they can Deliver You. Have your say and place your order here!

This February half term, Young Bristol have offered a wide range of activities for all young people to take part in. From sporting to creative activities, we’ve had something for everyone!

‍

This week, we hosted an Interclub Football Tournament at St Brendan's Rugby Football Club, welcoming over 50 young people from across our club network to take part. The day brought together young people from Ashton Vale Club for Young People, Hartcliffe Club for Young People, Sea Mills Boys and Girls Club and The Grove @Bedminster Down.

‍

The Interclub tournament started with teams playing 4-5minute matches in a round-robin format, with supporters cheering on their teams from the sidelines.

‍

After some intense matches, it was announced that Sea Mills Boys’ and Girls’ Club and The Grove @ Bedminster Down would play against each other for the junior trophy and The Grove @ Bedminster Down would play against Hartcliffe Club for Young People for the senior trophy!

‍

We are proud to announce that Sea Mills Boys’ and Girls’ Club were awarded our junior trophy and The Grove @ Bedminster Down were awarded the senior trophy!

Well done to all the young people who took part. It was fantastic to see them interacting and making new friends, as well as engaging other young people from across our network.

We would like to thank St Brendan's Rugby Football Club for facilitating our football tournament, as well as Rachael's Buffets, who supported us to provide food for young people!
