Get Out Get INvolved

This summer Boston Mayflower, in partnership with local agencies and businesses have ‘Got Out and Got Involved’ with over 500 young people who live in the local communities

 

Various agencies including Addaction, Youth Service, Childrens Links, NACRO and the Police had stalls promoting awareness of their services and how young people could access them. Boston Borough Council Community Safety Partnership also assisted at the event.

 The events were funded by the Lincolnshire Youth Offending Team and all activities were free and open to all young people whatever their age or ability.

Young people were asked to give their views on the event and the area they live in and what improvements could be made. We received some fantastic feedback and excellent ideas from this, and also some new “Young Voice” members to work with us on future events.

There were three ‘Get Out Get Involved’ Roadshows held across the Borough of Boston, where young people experienced a range of activities from football and circuit training to circus skills and face painting. They even had the chance to become the next Dave Pearce (or Terry Wogan!!)

Get Out Get Involved’ was a Boston Mayflower initiative to encourage young people to play an active and responsible role in their local communities.
Get Out Get Involved’ was so successful that we are now busy setting our tour dates for even bigger events next year
