Young Steps Luton

The team had a blast at the #CommunityAwards2023 celebrating the amazing people who contribute to our town. Thank you @CILuton for hosting- and showcasing the important work we do here at Young Steps. #WeCelebrateTogether

We had an awesome time with our young people at our October Brunch Club. Thank you to all who supported the camp and continue to support the important work we do. @TheMallLuton @CILuton @tescofood

Check out our collective mural “Float like Butterfly, Sting Like a Bee”- a quote by Muhammad Ali that inspired this morning’s session with @boxinsaveslives Thank you to the team for coming down to our Brunch Club! #jabcrosshook #brunchtime #holidayactivities @CILuton

A brilliant first day at Brunch Club! Children embraced their creative side, designing a collaborative piece- as well as burning off some energy playing football. #brunchtime #holidayactivities @CILuton

Thank you to @KarenLinley_ and her team at @Tesco for your ongoing support with our holiday provisions. We couldn’t do it without you! #holidayhunger #foodsecurity

As the Summer Holidays officially come to an end, we are reflecting on the final week of camp at @qesluton. Our nature week focused on exploring the great outdoors. Come down & see us at the @lutoninbloom Small Farmers' Market for our last delivery of the summer holidays #HAF2023

3great days spent in Condover with our @RaiseUpLuton lads Such trips are crucial in Luton. They empower the youth, fostering growth and positivity beyond comfort zones. From my own experiences, the lessons from such journeys can often surpass years of classroom mentorship.

We are prepping for the @LutoninBloom Farmers’ Market next week, reflecting on how important it is that young people get outdoors & explore nature. Check out these pictures from our Nature Camp! Come down next week for FREE activities & meet some more of our farmyard friends!

And lastly, we are so proud of all of Luton’s young people. Those with A*s and those who have failed this time around. We can’t wait to see what you all become. #WeEncourage #WeNurture #WeInspire #ALevelResults2023 #GCSEResults2023 5/5

This is not to say that education is not important- it is. But it isn’t the MOST important thing. We emphasise on confidence & communication skills. The ability to network & feel like you belong in a space (& not an imposter) is invaluable. This is what truly sets you apart. 4/5

It has been so wonderful to see the positive posts over the last two weeks regarding #ResultsDay . We have read about ‘screams of joy’ and the happiness of families celebrating their children’s exam success. 1/5
