Delivered with Enthusiasm

Allenton Big Local funds a number of activities aimed at helping young people, children and families gain new skills, confidence and experience. These programmes are delivered by the Enthusiasm Trust, an Allenton based organisation that works with young people to improve their lives, and Nacro Derby's Osmaston Family Project.

People involved in delivering these projects, along with local residents who have benefited from some of the activities on offer, have recently delivered presentations and Q&A sessions at the monthly Allenton Big Local meetings.

In February, Enthusiasm provided its quarterly report to the Partnership Group. Reading written reports is always useful, but there is nothing quite like hearing directly from the people who deliver activities. Enthusiasm also brought along Courtney, a young person who is being mentored by Enthusiasm and who also helps out by volunteering with them. Courtney talked to the Partnership Group about what the programme has offered her and how she is benefiting.

In March, two of the parents attend Nacro sessions came along to talk about how the project has helped them to learn new skills that are benefiting their families. Nacro also provided a beautifully laid out presentation (see photo above), which provided a summary of what they have been delivering using funding from Allenton Big Local.

Our thanks to both Nacro and Enthusiasm for delivering such worthwhile activities for young people in the Allenton Big Local area.
