Porch Project

Kayleigh and Lauren had an amazing time at @jcartlidgemp employment and skills fair! We have made some amazing links with businesses and young people as a result of attending the event! 😊

We just had to share our latest TikTok. We're calling the video 'When Ninja Tag is harder than you think, and you realise you’ve got a second game 🥵🥵🥵' I don't think any of us expected to be quite so tired!!! Thanks to everyone that came! We had a blast! :)

For the safety of everyone, staff and all attendees, here at the Porch Project we ask that you continue to wear masks when entering the Youth Centre until you are able to socially distance and that all hand sanitisation continues.

We were absolutely thrilled to receive a Suffolk Award from Edward Creasy - Suffolk High Sheriff. These last 18 months have been so tough for the voluntary sector so it was an honour to receive this award 💜

Tonight's #bbcbelongings 8-10pm with @handgeI is all about #happyheads campaign with a new phase this week, encouraging people to volunteer & support youth projects and young people across the country. #mentalhealth #volunteering @PorchProject @volunteering_uk @4_yp @FFS1future

Also important to include the capacity of the voluntary sector for mental health provision. Locally we are fortunate to have brilliant charities such as @KernosCentre, @greenlighttrust, @BefriendingSch & @PorchProject & we should be supporting direct collaboration with the NHS.

@PorchProject GREAT to hear Lauren share her volunteering journey on @jameshazell @BBCSuffolk today. #happyheads #volunteering #mentalhealth

Our lovely friends at @mixstowmarket have launched their new website today! Go and check it out! :)

#OnThisDay last year, the new learning kitchen, funded by Wooden Spoon Eastern Counties and @woodbridgesch, was officially opened at @PorchProject. The kitchen will help teach vital life skills to young people with physical, mental & social needs and enhance their employability.

Have you seen our recent Spotlight video? In this episode we spoke to Zach from the wonderful team at the @PorchProject to chat about about the services that they provide for young people in the area 😃 Link: buff.ly/2Y7Z80K

Our first baking session in our new kitchen. There is some incredible work going on everywhere and it’s so amazing to see how communities are pulling together to offer support and work with each other to help people during these tough times. #tnlcommunityfund #communitiescan

As we go into lockdown again please note the Home But Not Alone phone line is available if you need support. It's free to call 0800 876 6926 and it's staffed from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday. #StickWithItSuffolk #Covid19Suffolk

We're so proud of all we have achieved. Please have a read of the article to see what we've been up to and for our future plans! :) eadt.co.uk/ea-life/inside… @woodbridgesch @charityspoon @suffolkgiving @TimSPCC

On Monday and Tuesday we are open exclusively for our young people and from Wednesday onwards anyone in the community is most welcome! Groups of 8 maximum and can you please wear masks and keep 1 metre apart when in the building! WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU!!!!! 🙂

Our last launch is our beautiful Hallway which we have now transformed to ensure we are utilising the whole building. With charging points and a breakfast bar style seating area, people can chill or work in this area. There's also a TV with all of the latest updates on! So proud!

Our next room launch from last week was our unisex toilets named 'The Thrones'. As an LGBTQ+ inclusive charity, we felt it was right that we had unisex toilets. These have separate cubicles. We also now have a toilet with disability access and baby changing facilities.

Yesterday's room reveal was our new chillout lounge named 'Tranquility'.....just look at that gorgeous colour! Filled with cosy throws, comfy sofas and beanbags, a mood board and an Alexa!

Yesterday's room reveal was our gorgeous Gaming and film lounge! :)
