Brownsea Island Visit

Late last month some of our young people took the opportunity to visit Brownsea Island thanks to the National Trust who arranged and funded our ferry trip over and access to the island, including maps for everyone.

During the day they got to see the beautiful Island in all it's glory as the sun was shining. They explored the wooded areas, the small coves, the ancient monuments and the church. They were shown how to look for edible plants & fungi by one of the young people who is a keen forager and were even joined for part of their walk by a local resident peacock!

A great day was had by all, and they boarded the ferry home, tired, with sore feet but big smiles on their faces.

'Identity' - Short Documentary

"This short documentary focuses on the theme of 'identity' and delves into the support given by organisations such as 'Space Youth Project' to those wishing to understand who they are."

'Identity' was a short film project developed and created by SYP young people and staff, a short interview-styled documentary on the lived experience of Trans+ people we have worked with.

Please take 12 minutes out of your day to listen to their stories.

Shine21's SEND Family Fun Day

On Sunday 18/08 Space had a stall at the SEND Family Fun Day at Moreton Village Hall Dorchester, ran by the local charity Shine21. It was a great day and we raised some much needed funds for SYP. Plus the team had fun visiting the alpacas and entering some of the competitions!

Our lovely volunteer Jodie was very excited to have won the giant pink fluffy dog as you can see! Helping run the stall was Charlie, one of our amazing Supernova young people.
