We have been working collaboratively with our partners at the Freedom youth club for many years. Working alongside Azra, the Powering Up Project provided a range of opportunities for young people from asylum seeking and refugee backgrounds. We offer a range of support from employment and education workshops, sports activities and on this occasion we supported the group financially with their annual trip to the sea side.
For most of us a day at the beach is something we take for granted, however for those less fortunate these opportunities are extremely valuable and contribute to the wellbeing of young people going through difficult circumstances.
The boys still managed to play football even on the stoney Hunstanton beach.
