As the new Chair of Carlisle Youth Zone, it was super to be present last night as we reached a significant milestone, marking 150 patrons investing in our young people and supporting CYZ (https://lnkd.in/eWSe9bVc).
Whilst a big part of this is financial, which we need and appreciate, this investment in our young people extends much further from youth voice, mentorship and advocacy through to creating new opportunities, resources, and work-based experiences.
Whether small, big, new or old, our youth zones, youth clubs and youth spaces matter and have demonstrable impact:
1. Giving young people exciting, safe places to connect and grow.
2. Helping young people to lead healthier, happier lives.
3. Enabling young people to better face the challenges of life.
4. Supporting young people to raise their aspirations and fulfil their potential.
5. Building stronger communities with empowered, active, caring citizens.

So, whether you’re a patron supporting CYZ or indeed any other youth centre across our city and county, a big thank you. Our young people need your support and encouragement, and we need them. The returns are immense.
One day to go!!!
We’re incredibly proud of the 150 businesses that make up the CYZ Patron Family and we can’t wait to bring you all together for an exclusive event taking place at CYZ next week.
This celebration is a unique opportunity for us to thank those businesses that have stepped up for Carlisle’s young people.
If you’re yet to RSVP, please do so ASAP.
