Shieldfield Youth Programme

The Shieldfield Youth Programme is a programme of activity developed by Dwellbeing Shieldfield and The NewBridge Project in collaboration with young people living in Shieldfield. It was launched in Spring 2021.

The programme creates a space for young people to come together in the place where they live, build new friendships, and offers opportunities for them to develop their skills and talents and to explore new ways of thinking and doing things together. It aims to empower people to become active members of the local community and is local rooted, thematically strong and aims to instil values of solidarity, social and economic justice, creativity and activism.

Our team can be found out and about in Shieldfield meeting lots of great young people, creating and running lots of different community events as well as working with the young people themselves to have a positive impact on the place we live and work!

Our activities are free to attend and open to all young people. During the sessions we play games, have discussions, take part in creative activities, and have snacks.

Our regular Youth Programme sessions at The NewBridge Project will be paused in April and May, while we recruit for new youth team members. You’ll see our Youth Worker Lib out and about in Shieldfield this Spring doing detached youth work.

If you have any questions about the programme pause, please contact Lib, Sessional Youth Worker, at shieldfieldyouthprogramme@gmail.com
