We are so happy to be the chosen charity for ‘The Runaways’ feature film cast and crew screenings in Sheffield and Whitby!

Watching the film on Sunday evening at Abbeydale Picture house brought to mind some of the families we have worked with in our children’s and families activities and Child Contact Centre over the many years we have been providing services.  The needs we come across are complex and varied just like the family in the film.  Young carers, living in poverty, loss of a parent, violence in the home, living on the streets, escaping something be it domestic abuse, war or drug related issues.

Every year we take a few coach loads of people from Sheffield to Scarborough.   The family in the film could easily be a family we’d see sat on the coach, laughing, playing ‘one potato, two potato’, a donkey ride, rounders on the beach, chips and an ice cream on Buzz thanks to a kind donator. A day away from worries, we all need that.

The money we receive from ticket sales and via donations at the two screenings in Sheffield and Whitby will go some way to giving hope to a family, just like the hope we all felt for the children at the end of the film.

Watch out for the film release next year!

We are delighted to have been successful in our Big Lottery Fund, Awards for All application to provide an additional contact centre session mid week. This will reduce our waiting list, making contact between children and their non resident parent happen quicker.  It will also offer flexibility to children who use the service but might have a Saturday activity they don’t want to miss.

The centre is very very friendly, relaxed and responsive and there is always lots to do for all ages.  If you need a child contact centre or know someone who does, please pass on our details.

Thanks to Big Lottery Funding 66 young people in Broomhall and Sharrow have engaged in awesome activities over the last 7 days since the project launched! That works out at an incredible 137 engagements!!

Its been great to continue our youth work for our current youth clubbers and to have been reunited with some of the young people who used to come to our after school club ages ago!  Engaging with so many new young people has been the icing on the cake to an amazing week!

We have met some fab people at the following venues and organisation; Ponds Forge (Sheffield International Venues), Sheffield United Community Foundation, Highfield Adventure playground (Sharrow Community Forum) who have welcomed us with open arms and are adding soooooooooooooo much value to YouthQuake.  Thank you!
