One of the hlghlights for the Lordshill Youth Prolecl this year was the incredible support given to us by
Willmoll Dixon Ltd. This company was working on a large construction project near to the Zoe
Braithwaile centr8. In ne￿OrkIng sessions, we were able to introduce ourselves and discuss the wuk
of the Lordshill Youth Project and ils impact in the Lordshill area. Following several mèellngs and vSsts
to the Zoe Braithwaite Centre. Willmott Dixon Ltd agreed to completely refurbish the inside of the Zoe
Brailhwaile Centre building as a community work gesture. The materials used were of high quality and
specifically chosen to be hard wearing. Completed in January 2025. the centre now features a modern,
durable interior with a colour scheme designed to help young people, ncluding those with spécial
needs, feel relaxed and comfortable.
Since the youlh club reopened after refurbishment, allendance by young people has risen noticeably.
The young people have a sense of pride in being part of the project and we havefaclored this into rnany
discussions on wellbeing, working toJether, respect for each other and challenging anti-social
behaviour.
We delivered over 150 youth sessions this year. Young people from Lordshill also participated in two
residential trips (with places sponsored by partner organisationsl and a stargazing night in the New
Forest led by the National Park Authority.
Feedback from the young people both verbally and in written responses to questions indicates they feel
strongly that Lordshill Youth Project makes them feel safer in their area, gives them opportunibes to
engage in positivé activities, inforffls then about next steps in employment and training, gives them a
better understanding of anti-social behavlour and its effects on others and infoms them about suppK)rt.
