CREWE YOUTH ZONE – STAND ON THE GROUND AND BRAND REVEAL EVENT
It was fantastic to be invited by OnSide to the ‘Stand On The Ground’ event to mark the start of the building project for the new multi million pound youth centre on Oak Street in Crewe, at the site of the former car park.
The ground was a little bit wet and windy, so thank you to the Crewe Lyceum for hosting the event in the dry!
‘The Dome’ was revealed as the name and branding for the new facility, This name was a result of a branding task which the Young People’s Development Group (YPDG) went on guided by a design agency.
At the end of the process, the YPDG finalised on two possible names, The Dome and Pod, which the young people of Crewe voted on. The Dome was revealed as the winning brand!
Brilliant work from a fantastically talented team of young people who really impressed with their enthusiasm and confidence during the presentation.
Crewe Youth Zone will be a safe and aspirational place for young people providing a destination for the young people of Crewe. It will be a state-of-the-art space with over 20 activities to try each session, staffed by skilled youth workers who believe in young people and help them see what they could achieve.
I am really excited by this project as the young people of Crewe have waited a long time for this and really deserve to have purpose built facilities not just to enjoy for leisure, but to help support, develop our young people helping them see what they could achieve – giving them the skills, confidence and ambition they need for life.
