Now Recruiting for Shaping Spaces

Submitted by May on Wed, 1st May 2019, 4:48pm

A new wellbeing programme run by the YMCA for 16 – 25 year olds in
Bradford.

Detailed course info here

The project is aimed at young people who spend a lot of time indoors, feel a lack of connection to their community and are at risk of feeling isolated. Meeting two days a week, the group go out and enjoy time together in some of Bradford’s beautiful green spaces. We focus on strengthening a relationship with nature, each other, and ourselves and provide a space of calm for tired minds. We will also look at relevant issues and topics such as how to build positive relationships, goals for the future and life-skills. The programme has been co-designed with a steering group of young people and activities to date have included tree planting, lighting and cooking on a fire and guided mindfulness walks. As part of BEES have the opportunity to work with community groups on various conservation projects.

The Shaping Spaces Wellbeing project is supported by Co-op Foundation and government through the Building Connections Fund Youth strand and is part of Bradford YMCA.
