This is a great moment for the young people and the wider community In Delves Lane and all those supporting them. At a time of massive and dispiriting cuts, here is the story of a local community taking a lead in shaping its vision with and for young people in their area; here is a story of workers putting local need and community empowerment first; here is a story of co-creating locally owned sustainable solutions through an organisational model that puts the intended beneficiaries at the heart of the vision and in the driving seat to get there.

Bill - your thoughts and comments are much appreciated! Co-creation and the active involvement of young people has been the essence of this journey and is the fundamental reason that its purpose has been achieved!
