Warrington Youth Zone is calling on the town’s businesses to help unlock a vital funding opportunity that could make a lasting impact on the mental health of young people in the community.
Sport England has pledged £8,100 to support targeted mental health programmes – but to access this, Warrington Youth Zone must match the funding.
This initiative comes at a critical time, as the effects of the pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis continue to weigh heavily on families and communities. Warrington Youth Zone has seen firsthand how small interventions can lead to life-changing outcomes for young people. With the support of the local business community, this vision can become a reality.
By supporting Warrington Youth Zone, businesses can play a pivotal role in creating a safer, stronger community. The funds raised will:
- Provide targeted programmes for young people identified as struggling with mental health issues.
- Offer activities like boxing, climbing, cooking, and more, to build discipline, confidence, and life skills.
- Deliver one-to-one mentoring, empowering young people to make better choices and aim higher.
- Support families by offering young people positive outlets and encouraging a safer environment for everyone.
Investing in young people today creates a brighter future for Warrington. As a business, your contribution will:
- Enhance your community reputation by demonstrating a commitment to local wellbeing.
- Create a safer and more supportive environment for employees and their families.
- Show leadership by addressing one of today’s most pressing challenges.
Every pound raised will directly benefit Warrington’s young people, helping them build self-esteem, develop critical life skills, and find hope for a better future. Together, we can transform lives and make Warrington a place where everyone can thrive.
Warrington Youth Zone is asking businesses across the town to step up and help raise the £8,100 needed to unlock Sport England’s funding. Whether through direct donations, organising fundraising events, or spreading the word, your support can make a significant difference.
