Norbrook Youth Club trustees have elected to joining Greater Manchester Youth Federation, a youth charity specialising in outdoor education and youth clubs across the region.
“Trustees of Norbrook Youth Club are excited to announce that the club will be joining Greater Manchester Youth Federation,(GMYF) who will be taking over the management of the club. The club will shortly close for a period of refurbishment before reopening towards the end of the summer period.
Trustees from Norbrook and GMYF remain steadfast in maintaining the high-quality programs and services that Norbrook is known for, whilst also expanding opportunities for young people locally. Greater Manchester Youth Federation aims to ‘create opportunity and support aspirations’ and Norbrook will be joining clubs at Partington Youth Centre and Charlestown in Blackley as network of quality youth clubs.
We are excited to expand initiatives such as the Duke of Edinburgh Award, regular sessions for young people and the offer of school holiday activities (HAF), among other opportunities.
In addition, GMYF are delighted that after 17 years of dedicated voluntary service, Mr Gavin Evans will join GMYF as a trustee, bringing his substantial knowledge of the local community and his vast experience to the GMYF board.
Together, we will create a vibrant, supportive environment where young people can continue to be safe, celebrated and thrive.”
