We (the B&C TRA) have just received confirmation that our
application to the "Team Hackney Community Grants Program"
for a £15,000 grant
for a £15,000 grant
for two part-time youth workers
was successful
WWW.HCVS.ORG.UK
The two youth workers will cover four local estates:
Beecholme, Jack Watts, The Mount and Radley Square.
(Two estates this year and two next year).

The two youth workers will cover four local estates:

(Two estates this year and two next year).
These two qualified workers will come from "Skyway"
They have lots of experience with local young people and already do
a lot of good work in Hackney.

Phase 1 - work on the first two estates will start in September and run to December 2010 One evening a week the youth workers will be on each of the two different estates both out on the streets and in the tenants halls.
Activities will include things like discussions about postcode conflict, a visit from community police, one to one youth work sessions and workers spending some weeks speaking to young people on the streets and around the estates rather than just within the tenants hall.
The young people on each estate will be able to come up with an idea for a community activity/event that they themselves will lead on - anything from a childrens Christmas party to pretty much any activity they want.
With SkyWay’s support we plan to have secured sufficient funding from other sources to continue delivering these services to young people without Team Hackney money from January 2011.
Phase 2 - from Jan to April 2011 - work on second two estates As with the previous 2 estates, starting with one evening per week on two different estates, sessions and sessions both out on the estates and in the tenants halls. This time the activity/event that the young people on each estate will come up with and lead on could be an Easter community barbecue or sports day - for the Easter school holiday period in late April 2011.

Our sincere thanks go to
councillors Linda Kelly, Ian Rathbone and Deniz Oguzkanli for coming up with the idea (and others) to provide support/activities for some of our more disaffected youth out on the streets and for co-ordinating everything.
