Supporting Youth Organisations
Norfolk Carers
“We were really grateful to the 3H TeensPLUS scheme for … help to fund a summer trip to Thorpe Park for our older young carers.”
Some of the carers said:
“I got out of the house”
“It gave me time to myself”
“Helped my mental health”
“Helped me face my fears”
“Time away from caring”
The Oaks Specialist College
Tonbridge
A drama group of fifteen young people from The Oaks College visited a local theatre, The Trinity Theatre Tunbridge Wells, to learn about pyrotechnics and puppetry.
“They really wanted to do some work with puppets which was brilliant because it gave them another voice and means to communicate as well as allowing them to have fun on a real stage. Then a workshop on all that is pyrotechnics which was amazing and noisy and a Q & A with some of the people who work at the theatre. We finished off with lunch in their café and evaluated the day. Their feedback was amazing and would love to go back at some point to do things such as make up, costumes, backstage – these were not possible due to social distancing. This was our very first trip back after the pandemic and it meant the world to every single one! THANK YOU!”
The Autism Group
Working together with BBOWT (Bucks, Berks & Oxon Wildlife Trust) The Autism Group provide autistic children and their families ‘Engaging with Nature’ activities, from building habitats for wildlife, to learning how to be guardians of the nature around us in our communities. With the funding from 3H, the group was able to offer weekly activities during the school summer holidays, a time when some autistic children would find the lack of their regular routine challenging.
