This festive season, our team is delighted to spread festive joy by donating selection boxes to two incredible OnSide Youth Zones: Inspire in Chorley and Mahdlo in Oldham. These youth zones are part of the OnSide network, a charity dedicated to creating safe, supportive spaces for young people to explore their potential, build confidence, and develop life skills.
What OnSide Youth Zones Do
OnSide operates a network of purpose-built youth centres across the UK, providing young people aged 8-19 (up to 25 for those with additional needs) with access to affordable activities and support. Each youth zone offers state-of-the-art facilities, including sports halls, climbing walls, creative spaces, and dedicated rooms for mentoring and education.
Their mission is to empower young people to discover what they are capable of, fostering skills, friendships, and experiences in a positive and inclusive environment. Inspire and Mahdlo, like all OnSide Youth Zones, are staffed by passionate professionals who mentor and support young people to thrive, no matter their background.
Our Festive Contribution
Understanding the importance of small gestures during the holiday season, we wanted to make a difference by donating selection boxes to Inspire and Mahdlo. These treats will be distributed at festive events, helping to make the season a little brighter for the youth who rely on these incredible services.
Our team knows that Christmas is a time for joy and generosity. Supporting OnSide and its work resonates with our values of giving back to the community and creating opportunities for young people to feel valued and supported.
Why Youth Zones Matter
Youth zones like Inspire and Mahdlo are more than activity hubs—they are lifelines for many young people. They provide:
- Safe Spaces: A secure environment to relax and connect with friends.
- Personal Development: Opportunities to learn, grow, and develop skills that prepare them for the future.
- Community Support: Staff and volunteers who understand and care about the unique challenges young people face.
Looking Ahead
We’re proud to support Inspire and Mahdlo this Christmas and hope to continue working alongside such vital organisations in the future. If you'd like to learn more about OnSide Youth Zones or support their incredible work, visit their website at OnSide Youth Zones.
This holiday season, let's all remember the importance of giving, whether it’s through time, donations, or simply a kind gesture. Together, we can help create a brighter future for young people in our communities.
Happy Holidays from all of us at PAR Group!
