In January, the High Sheriff of Surrey, Shahid Azeem, visited our youth cafe in Leatherhead, BFree, to see first-hand the support we are providing for local young people in our community.
LYP has been running for 20 years, providing much needed services for young people in the area. As a charity we aim to help young people to be safe, happy, resilient and able to make positive choices in their own lives. We take a relational approach which provides support and skills for young people aged 11 – 24, helping them to overcome any barriers they are facing and build a brighter future.
The High Sheriff said of his visit, “It is great to see the dedication of the team at the impressive facility in Leatherhead and learn about the other aspects of what the charity do in the community – working with local schools, encouraging children to give back to the community, running residential camps and providing help to young people that are experiencing difficulties. It is so important that our youth have a safe place for connect and make friends and this they have provided along with so much more.”
