OUR VISION

 

To Empower Young People to improve their Communities through Entrepreneurship and Partnerships

 

 "....Young people making a difference for young people and their Communities...."

 

Please see "Our Aims" for the concept and practical delivery.

 

WHAT'S DIFFERENT ?

 

Simple - young people create the facilities that they will then use.

 

"Don't touch that wall - I built it"

 

Young people help create and take ownership of the facilities, sharing the real day to day responsibilities.... leaders, trustees, directors and managers are created from those who have come up "through the ranks" and earned respect.

 

As a result, they are able to then help others to do the same.

 

It is not something being "done" for "them" as many youth projects are ....

  • Free Youth Club Facilities

  • Employment

OUR AIM

Self Sustaining & Replicable elsewhere

To be self sustaining, to help others and to replicate the model in other communities.

The Refurbishment was funded and organised by very generous local businessman. It has been a massive undertaking and has transformed the Pear Tree into "Coffee Etc."

 

Our bean to cup coffee machine was provided on the "deal of the century" by RiJo42 Coffee (Westhoughton, Wigan).

 

RiJo 42 have also loaned us a Zumex Orange Squeezer, a Smoothie maker, a hot Chocolate machine and have donated coffee, chocolate, oranges, smoothies, crockery... the list is endless...

 

The Community Cafe is run by

Third Way Community Interest Company

 

 a business designed to involve the community and raise money for our youth, community and charity work
