🚐 Big news for Kingsway & Stewards!

In our Destination Kingsway/Stewards survey last year, you told us young people need more support and safe spaces locally so we’re partnering with VIBE to bring a fully equipped mobile youth bus into the heart of the community every week!

The VIBE youth bus will:

- Run pop‑up sessions in hotspot areas
- Offer a safe, informal space for young people
- Provide activities, mentoring and support
- Respond quickly to emerging issues

📅Weekly sessions run in the Kingsway/Stewards Ave area every Wednesday between 6pm and 8pm starting from next Wednesday 4th March so keep an eye out for the bus near you!

You can read more about the partnership here 👇

New Mobile Youth Bus coming soon to Kingsway and Stewards following 'Destination' survey results.

We recently funded a four‑week beginner cookery course with Fresh Beginnings through our Destination Kingsway/Stewards programme - and what a brilliant few weeks it’s been!

Held at the DCBL Stadium, five local residents came together to learn how to make hearty, low‑cost meals perfect for busy family life. From spaghetti bolognese to homemade chicken soup, the group cooked up some fantastic dishes!

Everyone left with a £20 voucher, measuring spoons, digital scales, and a Fresh Beginnings cookbook to help keep the cooking going at home.

A big thank you to Barbara from Fresh Beginnings for running such welcoming and confidence‑boosting sessions. And well done to all our amazing participants! 👏

Gary’s Apprenticeship Journey: Building Skills That Last a Lifetime

Gary’s apprenticeship journey gave him hands‑on experience, a strong work ethic, and an appreciation for the craftsmanship behind every task - no matter how big or small. The skills he built early on have stayed with him throughout his career, even as he’s moved into an office‑based role.

He credits his apprenticeship with teaching him patience, pride in his work, and the importance of seeing every job through. His advice for anyone starting theirs? “Stick with it and give it your all.”

As we celebrate National Apprenticeship Week, Gary’s story is a brilliant reminder of how apprenticeships open doors, build confidence, and set people up for long‑term success. 💙🔨📘
