Investing in Young People: A Visit to Empower Salford Youth Zone EMPOWER youth zones provide somewhere safe to go, something positive to do and someone trusted to talk to.
Following the success of their first youth zone, HideOut, which opened five years ago in Gorton, East Manchester, they expanded with the opening of Salford Youth Zone in July.
Across both youth zones, they have registered over 15,000 young people, making them the largest youth work charity in Greater Manchester and the impact truly speaks for itself. At a time when many young people are spending more time online, Empower offers real human connection, creativity and opportunity 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year.
Huge thanks to Amanda Coverdale, Senior Philanthropy Manager, for showing us around, her passion and commitment to supporting young people was clear throughout. For businesses looking to make a meaningful, local impact, this is one well worth exploring. If you would like to learn more reach out to Amanda Coverdale.
