Summary
As a registered charity in Scotland the Irvine Youth Legacy Centre strives to make our community a better place for young people. Representing, Helping, and Achieving our goals and encouraging and supporting other young people to do the same with their own. Helping the staff facilitating a space for youth to express themselves, and build on ideas and aspirations they want to accomplish. The Legacy centre runs 10 different groups across 6 days of the week.Description
We have previously been lucky enough to secure Youth PB in 23/24 which allowed us to provide free bite to eat during each group for 10 months as this is something that the young people attending the centre where often asking for. Being able to provide young people with a free bite to eat and drink has allowed us to help relive the cost of living crisis from young people and their families. Which is why we would like to be able to continue having this as part of our programme. As well as our free snacks at the youth groups, the centre also hosts “Food chat and chill” on a Sunday evening which is one of our most popular groups this provides young people with a free hot meal. Between the snacks at through the week and food chat and chill the centre has been able to provide over 150 young people with a free meal in the last 10 months. We would like to be able to continue our choice of tuckshop sweets for young people to choose one per night and a range of juice for young people to access. We would also like to stock a range of noodles for young people to have when they are visiting.
water/diluting juice - £200
tuckshop snacks and crisps - £300
noodles/bread/poptarts - £500
