Summer Plans
At Energize we are so excited for summer! We have a fabulous programme packed and we can’t wait to get it started!
We want to raise the aspirations and self-esteem in young people across Lincoln to reach their potential, improving their lifestyle choices, health and well-being, reducing the risk of social exclusion, crime and antisocial behaviour. We achieve this through our brilliant schemes with family fun days, exciting trips, partnering with children in need and the HAF programme.
We will be in Moorland, Hykeham, Birchwood, Monks Road, Ermine, and St Giles, starting from the 24th of July up until the 24th of August. Through our HAF programme, young people get to taste and learn about fruit and vegetables using the five senses, giving them a better understanding of the eat well plate. They are provided with a delicious hot meal at lunchtime to get them ready for an afternoon of fun workshops and activities both to enrich and energize as we partner with Children In Need.
Our fun filled trips this summer will be at Drayton Manor, Jump Inc, Play Zone, the YMCA Showroom for rock climbing and caged sports, and we’re headed to Mablethorpe for an all-day beach trip! It’s going to be epic! If you visit the Energize Facebook page, there you will be able to see everything we have planned across Lincoln!
All these schemes are brilliant for young people and families. It’s a chance to spend quality time with family and friends, it gives great opportunities and forms wonderful community. In my own experience, it’s been amazing to see young people come out of their shell and be comfortable to be themselves. They form quick friendships and they get stuck in with activities. Seeing young people outside with great big grins across their faces is a beautiful sight to see. We want them to connect with others and want to give them chances to explore new interests, which is what this programme does.
