Leigh youth Hub strives to foster partnerships that enhance the well-being and development with young people in our community. Recently, we have collaborated with All Child, an organisation which supports communities in underserved neighbourhoods across the UK. All Child’s mission is to help children and young people build the social, emotional, and academic skills they need to flourish.
Their priorities include:
• Improving child mental health – particularly in Leigh which has the highest rate of referrals to CAMHS in Greater Manchester
• Improving school attendance
• Reducing suspensions and exclusions from school
• Working in partnership with the Council’s Early Help provision to strengthen early intervention and prevention services for families.
Leigh Youth Hub is dedicated to improving young people’s mental health by training as mental health first aiders, creating relationships with young people and offering advice and solutions when it comes to their education. Additionally, we are offering an educational setting during the day to schools, colleges and any training providers who offer 1:1 or 2:1 sessions.
Leigh Sports Village provides state of the art facilities for sport, physical activity, education, health, and leisure that serves the whole community. Embedded in their values is to continue to work with their local communities, and to ensure the site is a safe and inclusive space to visit for everyone. It is so lovely to see that the young people within our local communities are enjoying the full range of facilities which the village has on offer to them. You can find out more about their thoughts via this incredible short documentary piece:
