We are an open-access, full-time Youth and Community Centre in Everton, Liverpool where "People matter more than Things". This Christmas we want to improve our facilities and expand our provision of care to deliver support and education with a number of new initiatives.

    Situation

    Shrewsbury House is undergoing a much needed refurbishment but beyond basic replacement and maintenance, we need to respond to the needs of our children partially highlighted by the Covid pandemic. There are over 50 children per after school club session where we provide a warm and welcoming environment, but this is not enough. We need to provide sensory space, a computer room and disabled access with specialist staff to deliver life coping skills for all our children and teenagers.

    Solution

    We will create and equip a computer room facility and a sensory room, instal disabled access and appoint part-time staff to deliver the appropriate tuition. Confidence building and self esteem, IT skills and CV writing for the significant numbers of our children with special needs and no access to PCs at home will be the focus but we also want to address other areas of self development by appointing part-time specialists in cookery/nutrition, mindfulness and physical exercise/sports.
