40 Days of Volunteering during August

During August, we sent two volunteers a day, for 4 weeks to Blackburn & Darwen Youth Zone, to support its Holiday Activity Fund.

This government-funded initiative provided children and young people with healthy meals and exciting activities during the school summer holidays. The themed holiday club gave young people lots of opportunities to learn something new, create friendships, and take part in all things fun. All within the Youth Zone’s state-of-the-art facilities.

Our volunteers took part in various activities including design challenges, water fights, cookery, salon / nail painting and sports. We also donated four Smyths Toys vouchers, and four sweet hampers as prizes.

“Thank you so much to The Senator Group for everything you and your team did for our members. The feedback has been amazing, and your wonderful people are smashing the activities. We’ve had several requests for them to return!”

Employees of The Senator Group added:

“I loved to help the children during a morning workshop, and various sporting activities including Basketball, Air Hockey, Table Football and Pool too. I also assisted in the Maker Room, helping the children to design their unique Fidget Spinner designs ready for producing on the 3D Printers.”

Marc Walker Knight, Analyst Programmer, The Senator Group

“I really enjoyed volunteering at Blackburn Youth Zone, the children got involved in all the activities and it was great to see them all having fun. All the staff were friendly, and it really showed how much hard work goes into making sure the children enjoy themselves whilst there. I was so impressed with the size of the building and how much variety there was for the children to do. A fantastic youth zone!”

Lisa Spiers, Bids & Contracts, The Senator Group
