On Weds 6th July we hosted our first Staff Youth Club Session. Young people, Youth Workers and medical professionals came together to talk about the benefits of hospital-based Youth Work and see first hand how it is making a big difference to the lives of young people living with health conditions.
Youth Forum members gave a tour of the Monty Hind Centre on Leen Gate, where the Youth Club is held every Wednesday evening and then creative activities were on offer that enabled communication and discussion.
Finally, a large group activity was coordinated in the Sports Hall using a parachute to gain feedback form the event.
The event received excellent feedback and it gave a valuable insight into what a You
th Club session is like so that medical staff can promote it to other young people and encourage them to attend.
The young people fed back that it was great to see their doctors and nurses outside of the clinical environment and build better relationships with them.
