What our members, parents and supporters think of Manchester Youth Zone.
You can trust them
When you feel lonely or you need to speak to someone, come to MYZ, you can trust them and they’ll help you with everything
It’s great to support a charity doing such impactful work right on our doorstep
It’s been a pleasure working with MYZ over the past few years. As a Manchester-based office, it’s great to support a charity doing such impactful work right on our doorstep. I’ve personally taken part in fundraising activities like the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge for MYZ, making it that bit easier knowing you're doing it for a good cause. I’ve also had the chance to visit the site and see first-hand the amazing facilities and the impact they’re having. It’s clear how much they’re doing to support young people in the area, and I’m proud that SEFE energy is supporting that to continue.
These initiatives aim to inspire and equip young individuals with the knowledge and confidence
The Calisen Impact Charitable Trust is honoured to be supporting Calisen Group's financial support over many years including funding 10,000 free hot meals and sponsoring three-day adventure holidays for families, addressing food insecurity and promoting well-being among young people. Beyond financial support, the Calisen Group has organised Industry Insight Days and Work Safari sessions, providing MYZ members with firsthand exposure to various career paths within the company.
They take care of me
I think Youth Zone is caring because the Youth Workers take care of me and do activities I really like.
We encourage our people to take up the offer of using 3.5 hours to volunteer each month
We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Manchester Youth Zone over the course of our three year partnership, as part of our 5 million Futures social impact strategy. Our partnership facilitated a broad range of rewarding volunteering opportunities of scale for many of our Deloitte colleagues to get involved with.
Over the course of our partnership we have held numerous fundraisers, impact volunteering days and hosted in-person training sessions for the young people that MYZ support.
Activities & events for everyone
From rock climbing to creative arts and podcasting, there’s something for everyone. We offer inclusive activities for young people of all abilities, with dedicated SEND support and fun sessions for younger children too. Everyone’s welcome.
