Our Space Macclesfield

Who’s it for

Youth Fed, in conjunction with a dynamic fundraising volunteer group, are currently consulting with various stakeholders regarding a proposed youth provision offer in Macclesfield on a site owned by the charity.   Our vision is a safe space for the young people of Macclesfield aged 8-18.  Our proposed plans include an indoor and outdoor area which is welcoming, fun, thriving, safe and sustainable. It will provide the highest standards in education, health and wellbeing, recreation, and personal development.

 

What is it?

Local young people need a safe place to meet, to socialise and get support when needed.  There is currently no place to service the whole youth community in the Macclesfield area.  We want to create a place with open access for all.  We have set up a youth board to ensure we are meeting the needs of local young people and currently we have 3 schools engaged.  Hear more about why the a dedicated youth space is needed here.

Benefits for young people:

A safe place to meet
Mental and physical health
Employment prospects
Community and identity

Benefits for Macclesfield:

1. Reduced social issues and crime
2. Improved employability of our youth
3. Increased access to further education and employment
