GRANT AWARDED - Lancashire Youth Challenge
The 3R Foundation recently awarded £899 to Lancashire Youth Challenge for an Apple MacBook Air laptop. Lancashire Youth Challenge supports young people aged 13-21 in North Lancashire, Preston, and South Ribble, helping them overcome challenges such as mental health issues, substance misuse, homelessness, and involvement in the criminal justice system.
Their focus is on providing equitable opportunities, meaningful encouragement, and high-quality activities to help young people build resilience, independence, and achieve personal success.
They offer over 300+ free sessions each year, including workshops and events in the evenings, weekends, and school holidays such as:
Restore: Helping young people build resilience and self-awareness.
Time to Breathe: Offering time in nature for reflection, healing, and personal growth.
Rise to the Challenge: Providing transformative outdoor expeditions to foster change and personal development.
Young people are referred to the services by local organizations, including CAMHS, Lancashire Constabulary, ADHD Support services and Schools. Many of the young people they support come from the most deprived areas and are facing significant barriers in their lives.
The Operations Manager and Project Coordinator lead projects that enable young people to share their experiences and create artwork, boosting confidence, self-efficacy, and new skills. They lacked suitable equipment for film and music video production so the new MacBook now allows them to edit and produce their own work providing life-enhancing experiences for local young people.
