Thank you to everyone who has reached out and shared our post 🧡🖤

The hub was broken into early Saturday morning. Electronics, documents, arts and crafts supplies, and handmade items created by our young people were taken.

We are devastated, but we will keep going.

Wednesday 10 April, the youth mentors teamed up with the youth ambassadors for a litter-picking session in the #CoppinsWard area, #Clacton.

The team collected several bags of litter, demonstrating their commitment to a cleaner environment. ♻️

We would like to say a huge thank you to a regular donor. With some of the donated funds, our Youth Ambassadors had a day out celebrating their passion, positive attitudes and hard work. This allowed us to reward their commitment to make positive change.

Another good week engaging with members of the public across #Clacton #Harwich #Walton and the #Frinton area.

We are helping to reduce anti-social behaviours, maintain engagement with young people and introducing them to services and activities in the community to keep them safe
