What a fantastic day out for the whole team! π
We loved being out in the community today hosting a stall at two wonderful local events:

π Her Space, wonderfully organised by the Office of the Police Crime commissioner.
It was a privilege to connect with so many wonderful people, share what we do, and be part of such inspiring community gatherings. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat with us today!

What an incredible start to our new youth programme! π±β¨
At our very first session, our fantastic group of young people took the lead. They shared their brilliant ideas on what activities they want to do and let us know exactly when they are available to meet.
Co-designing this programme with them means every session is going to be shaped by their voices and interests. We are so excited for what is coming next!
This project is proudly funded by the Frank Branston Fund and managed by Bedfordshire and Luton Community Foundation
Keep an eye out for updates on our upcoming activities.
