Our holiday program is having a truly positive impact on young people and the wider community in the city. Bristol Somali youth voice offers a variety of enriching activities and hot meals to young people during school holidays, to inspire young people into active, healthy and joyful holiday.
Many of our sessions take place right at the doorsteps of the young people we serve. This proximity has significantly boosted participation, making more convenient for young people to involve and participate our sessions, Our youth workers are deeply embedded in the community and have trust and relationships with both the young people and their families. This significantly enhance the engagement creating safe a safe and supportive environment where they feel seen, heard, and valued.
We imply cultural understanding to make our sessions more accessible and inclusive for all young people, with different backgrounds, aspirations, and abilities. Our diverse activities are thoughtfully tailored to meet the unique needs of those we work with—helping them stay physically active, emotionally well, and socially connected.
Our sessions are full of energy, joy, and positive engagement, embodying the responsive, community-led approach that defines our work. Ultimately, our goal is to create joyful, healthy, and meaningful experiences that support the holistic development and wellbeing of the young people in our community—during the holidays and beyond.
