Invited to look around the fantastic The Way Youth Zone

The team at The Way Youth Zone have done a brilliant job throughout the pandemic, firstly through remote sessions for children and young people and then reintroducing face-to-face activities once it was safe enough to do so.

I was delighted to be invited down to have a look around The Way myself and was very impressed, not only by the facility itself but also by the great range of activities on offer. They have an incredible team of experienced staff down at the facility led by CEO Carla Priddon.

It is a very important asset for children and young people from all over our city and I am looking forward to it being able to welcome even more children and young people, seven days a week – hopefully in the not too distant future.

As a council, we have committed another £200,000 towards The Way’s running costs this financial year, bringing our total investment in the centre to over £4m.

This demonstrates our continuing support for The Way along with our wider commitment to, and funding for, our city’s children and young people, including through our Youth Engagement Strategy, #YES, and the upcoming Yo! Summer Festival.
