Before the charity even began...
we were working with the young people in Edgeside, with our base at St. Anne's Church, Edgeside. Creating a safe place for young people to hang out, try new things and feel supported.
The Journey So Far...
Gained Charity Status & 'Pride of Rossendale'
In June 2009, we gained Charity status. Whilst also gaining a high profile in the Rossendale area, we were awarded 'Pride of Rossendale' as the borough's best community project of 2009.
We Won Another Award, and gained the keys to our First Home!
We were awarded a 'Mayor of Rossendale' Award; and began refurbishing our first home: The Boiler House - an old industrial unit at the bottom of Bridleway on Burnley Road East.
The Fest (Number 1)
On Saturday 12th July, volunteers and young people collaborated to put on a festival in Edgeside Park - showcasing local talent for an afternoon and evening - with stalls, music, games, and fun for all ages.
The Talent
On the 11th of February 2016, a huge talent show was put on. The young people could perform on a big lit-up stage to the local community inside St. Anne's Church.
The Fest (Number 2)
After the big success of 'The Fest', we took over Edgeside Park once again for another evening of stalls, music, games in the lovely summer sun.
Zoom!
We made a quick leap over to Zoom - to continue providing some highlights of the young people's weekly routines at The Boiler House: Quizzes, Music Lessons, Art, and Games Nights.
We Gained the Keys to our Second Home
After having to move out of our beloved Boiler House, we moved in to the former Newchurch Methodist, on Turnpike - just 5 minutes up from The Boiler House.
Mosaics across Rossendale
With the help of Ruth, the young people designed mosaics in our art sessions that were put up in Waterfoot, at Trickett's Memorial Bus Stop. It is still there shimmering away in the sun to this day!
The National Anthem at Twickenham Stadium
Sean Ruane took the young people from The White Horse Project, and Dansworks Dance Academy of Performing Arts CIC, to Twickenham to perform the Nation Anthem at the Gallagher Premiership Final between Sale Sharks and Saracens. Click here to watch the day.
