Whoop Whoop, a standing ovation to several of our amazing tenants who have secured youth provision in the area for the next three years.
Young people in Tang Hall are celebrating as the National Lottery Community Fund has awarded £449,552 for the next three years to continue the youth provision established by @tanghallbiglocal and to develop the outdoors elements of the programme based in Hull Road Park.
The project is a joint programme between @northyorkshireyouth , @c2youthcafe and @tcvyork , with TCV as the lead applicant. The proposal has been shaped with local young people and brings together the complementary strengths of the three organisations.
NYY will continue their outreach work across the Tang Hall neighbourhood and the popular Youth Club sessions on Tuesdays at the Community Centre.
TCV will expend the outdoors and environmental sessions based in and around Hull Road Park
Choose2 will support young adults with learning disability to join the weekly sessions run by TCV, and projects in the park will make use of the Choose2 cafe space out of hours.
The three organisations are developing a “young leaders” programme for the young people aged 16+
The project supports the expansion of community activities in Hull Road Park where TCV have been running regular activities for over 6 years.
A big thank you to players of the National Lottery
“Well done to TCV, NYY and Choose2 for get this wonderful lottery funding and being able to continue the legacy of Tang Hall Big Local “ Anna Hunter, Project Lead Tang Hall Big Local
“This is absolutely fantastic news and a hugely important suite of services for the young people in the east of York” Claire Douglas Chair Tang Hall Community Centre.
