Jon Pearson was presented with the prestigious Earthmovers Award at Friends of the Earth’s Yorkshire Summer Action Gathering. The award recognises the dedication of local environmental groups and their members, including the team at Astra Youth Centre. Jon and #AstraYouthCentre’s youth workers guide young people in caring for the centre’s garden at weekly social sessions, enhancing the local environment and encouraging sustainable practices. The sessions, held on Thursday evenings from 4pm–5.30 pm and 6:30–8pm, provide a safe and supportive space for young people to unwind after school, build confidence, and form positive friendships. The project is run in partnership with Rewilding Youth, whose network brought Jon to Astra Youth Centre. Building on its success, there are plans to expand gardening activities into additional social sessions during the week. ... See MoreSee Less
