For most young people the summer holidays are a time to relax. Many of us will think longingly back to endless weeks with no responsibilities, bike rides, water-fights, and a last-minute rush to finish any homework before September dawns. 

This isn’t the case for everyone: for some young people, school is a place of refuge. A place to eat a real meal or talk to adults they can trust. Often school is an escape from abusive or chaotic home lives; it’s a sense of routine keeping mental health problems at bay; a place to truly express yourself without fear or repercussion.

For some, the summer holidays are daunting.

 

Creative Youth Network are here all summer long. Hosting drop-in sessions, youth clubs, 1-2-1 guidance, creative courses and more. Young people have access to trained youth workers 6 days a week, healthy meals, and fun activities. 

Help us to ensure summer is a time every young person can make lifelong happy memories.
