We have been supporting the OYCC with pro bono work for some time now – we believe that youth club facilities are vital to many young people. John worked with OYCC on a grant application (building up the consultation feedback) which has led to a grant for £17,000. This is significant in that this will pay for the sessional staff who work with OYCC over the next 12 months. We had supported them during Covid – running two focus groups online with high school students – this led to the formation of the youth club – but they needed more up-to-date feedback from their ‘customers’. It’s good to help fund a win!
