Story
The Northamptonshire Association of Youth Clubs is a registered charity (no. 803431) and voluntary youth organisation with over fifty five years of experience in supporting young people. We are currently working with around 200 youth groups and clubs countywide, helping 1000s of young people to develop physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually, and to grow and mature as individuals and members of society.
Our goal is to help educate young people through their leisure time activities by providing the opportunities to expand their horizons and develop self-confidence, irrespective of their background, education or ability.
We are planning the trip of a lifetime, taking a group of young people from our affiliated clubs all the way to Uganda. Based at the Discovery Centre near Jinja, the group will be supporting local school children and experiencing a disadvantaged country with a culture so much different to what they know. We will support them to develop their skills in communication, teamwork and leadership alongside the shared experiences of an unfamiliar environment.
Each young person is asked to raise the funds needed for the trip themselves. They will be doing various fundraising activities leading up to the trip in August 2020 and any monies donated will help them to reach their target of £1500.
Thank you for supporting a young person and making this amazing trip possible.
