Hello there, nice to meet you!
Welcome to the Levenshulme Youth Project website. Please take a look around and see what we have to offer.
We provide a safe, caring, youth-led space for young people where they can learn, develop and build towards a brighter future. Having started out as a grassroots local effort to tackle problems faced and expressed by local children and young people, we have developed into an established local charity with a strong track record, supported by a number of funders.
All LYP projects are designed to help build positive relationships between young people.
They can also learn a skill, have a voice and make a positive contribution to their communities.
Making a Difference
We believe that children and young people can make all the difference to their communities by:-
- Utilising a community development/social action approach to work in the area.
- Creating meaningful opportunities for young people to volunteer in their communities.
This will involve building relationships with the broader voluntary, community and social enterprise sector to maximise opportunities for young people.
Creating opportunities and enabling young people to participate in community life and to support each other. Creating Change in the lives of people in the community and those community organisations.
