Porch Project goes from strength to strength! On the evening of Wednesday 24th January the Porch Project’s new premises in Hadleigh were officially declared open by The Lord Lieutenant of Suffolk, Clare Countess of Euston. The Porch Project was set up in 2009 having identified a need for youth provision in Hadleigh. It has since extended into Great Cornard and now employs three full time youth workers. It aims to provide excellent quality youth work so that the young people of Hadleigh, Great Cornard and the surrounding parishes have the opportunity to achieve their full potential in life. The evening kicked off with a short speech by James Buckle, Chair of the Trustees, who thanked the many people who have helped the Porch Project over the years, particularly mentioning Babergh District Council and the Police and Crime Commissioner, Tim Passmore. After the official opening, kindly performed by Clare, Countess of Euston, Ben Day, Lead Youth Worker gave a short introduction to one of the current learning programmes, Venture. Venture has been a huge success in its pilot year, 30 young people took part in the programme, many of them had little experience in the outdoors and they showed great resilience and perseverance, learning a host of new skills and gaining in confidence and independence. They were all presented with a certificate by Clare, Countess of Euston. The Porch Project runs two evening Weekly drop in sessions in Hadleigh and one in Great Cornard. It also offers smaller group sessions focusing on: female members of the Project with the Inspirations programme; outdoor adventure skills with the Venture programme; preparation for employment with the Horizons Programme; homework; cookery, to promote healthy eating emotional health and social wellbeing; volunteering, IT skills and online safety. To continue providing services for young people we need more volunteers to support our paid team of 3 youth workers. How much time you give is up to you, once a week, once a month, whatever fits in with you. This is a great way to meet people and support your community.
