YPI – Youth Philanthropy Initiative

This year we were lucky enough to be have been chosen by students from Mary Erskins to be the charity that they worked with for the YPI, which empowers young people to make a difference in their local communities as well as to help develop skills; for this students spent time at Seagrove speaking to members and staff to find out about us and the services we offer, a short presentation was also made.

The students involved showed great initiative and completed a sponsored walk to raise funds and impressed us with their baking skills. We were over the moon and extremely proud to hear that they won, £3,000. The same students have now decided to embark on a journey to complete Duke of Edinburgh award and will be volunteering here at Seagrove each Saturday.
