Manchester – Our Year

  • 2nd Nov 2023

Why did we take the innovative approach of Our Year?

Young people were aware of the challenges they faced but were clear they didn’t want us to focus on them
What they wanted was an opportunity to reclaim their future and for us to provide opportunities and experiences they missed
A year of additional opportunities, fun and exciting things to do and support to look forward to more positive times

We were also aware that the pandemic had a significant impact on our children, young people and families, particularly in areas of educational achievement, wellbeing, social and emotional development, and resilience and financial hardship
