The roadHoG Bus Youth Project has cause to celebrate having been awarded £1000 from the High Sheriff’s Fund by Lincolnshire Community Foundation. This will enable us to make contact with young people in 10 communities and 8 schools to create a safe place to meet with friends.
We have been operating since 2009 and is staffed by 77 volunteers to:
Come alongside young people who come on-board
Inspire young people to aim higher using education (We have a part-time Schools Worker who uses the bus as a mobile classroom to deliver lessons within the Citizenship and RE in both Primary and Secondary schools).
Creating community by bridging the gap between young people and the local church when our bus is out visiting the community.
Working with local police and other authorities to provide a safe space on our streets.
‘We are delighted to receive this support from the High Sheriff’s Fund as it will enable roadHoG to continue the local church’s desire to support young people in their communities. This is vital because youth services have been cut back, and cut back, and roadHoG is recognised as providing a continual space for young people that is neither school nor home, but is open and free to all young people”.
