Well what a week, Monday/Tuesday in the Lake District at our
UK Youth national conference with a theme around youth unemployment and the
challenges and initiatives to support young people in seeking employment. And at any event of this nature there is also
the networking that can be done, and for me also the enjoyable ICT clinic for
staff, which did run a little late into the evening….
Being away always brings the inevitable catch-up so I have spent the last two days and evenings catching up on the continual plethitude of paperwork involved in managing our centre day to day. But do I mind, no, because we do have the ability to impact on so many young people each week and make a difference. We work in a wonderful environment and can be proud of Avon Tyrrell as it is a place for all to enjoy the outdoors, experience, learn and develop.

Across the site great things continue to happen at Avon
Tyrrell with our new sewage plant now being installed as our old one finally
fell over in late April. Fortunately for
us our UK Youth Trustees had approved a replacement and all was in place to
start work, so we have managed to keep operating while the work is done.
And more exciting news, to continue to develop and support
the work that the charity does with cycling, and don’t forget our president
Nigel Mansell, sponsors a professional bike team that display our charity
colours, we are going to work in partnership with a local bike shop, ‘Gone
Biking Mad’. We will on site be able to
provide more professional bike services, bike hire and a bike shop for the
users of Avon Tyrrell, and the local community.
Very exciting.
There is much more happening here at Avon Tyrrell so if you
can why not come and see, it is such a cool place. Our charity, UK Youth, has made such an
effort to make an accessible outdoor venue for all and because we care so
passionately about making a difference for young people we absolutely keep our
costs affordable because we want everyone to have the opportunity to
experience, learn and develop at Avon Tyrrell, enhance life skills and support
employability and personal development in the future.
Hopefully see you soon, and please come and say Hi
Best

Remember… experience – learn – develop
