FYDP has been set up to support the young people of Farsley and help make the community a better place. But we haven’t got all the answers. So we want to make sure we keep finding ways of people telling us what’s needed.
One of the new ways we’ve come up with to help them do this is through the group that looks after all the overall direction of where FYDP is heading. We’re therefore very proud to announce that, following his election at the AGM, Ben Harrison will be taking a place on the FYDP Management Committee.
Better known to his friends as “Beanhead” (!), Ben is one of the young people we’ve worked with for the past few years on the Sub bus, and now he’ll be giving his time to help us make sure that we stay responsive to the needs of the young people we work with. Welcome aboard, Ben!
There was a proud moment for the FYDP team this month, as we travelled down to the Houses of Parliament in London to receive a very special prize – the Faithworks Award for working with Children and Young People. We were chosen for the award out of over a hundred and twenty nominations from across the country.
Given in recognition of everything we have achieved over the past few years, the award includes a grant of £5000 towards developing our work, which will be put towards developing our mentoring project.
Howard Bradley, the Project Co-Ordinator commented that “The exciting thing is that we’re a small organisation that works in partnership with lots of other projects – and this award shows that this is a really valuable way of doing things”.
FYDP have launched their Youtube Channel this week, as a sign of their intent to give young people the opportunity to make short films and to document the storyof the project.
If you want to learn how to make short films and get your work on the site, please get in touch.
