The Connexions Hull City Council service are excited to attend a fun community event with a serious message to celebrate the refurbishment of Shaw Park on Hull’s Orchard Park Estate this Friday, September 20.

The event is designed for young people aged 11 to 18, and the wider community is warmly invited to join in for an afternoon filled with activities, stalls, and much more.

Organised in partnership by Hull City Council and Humberside Police , the event aims to showcase the local opportunities and support available to young people.

This event is part of the Clear-Hold-Build project taking place on the estate under the community-owned HOPE brand. The project seeks to reduce organised crime in Orchard Park.

YPSE are eager to connect with young individuals and support them on their journeys toward education, employment, and training opportunities during this event. We will offer personalised career advice to attendees and show them our innovative platform, >log on | move on>.

YPSE's latest available data shows that Orchard Park has the largest percentage of young people aged 16 to 17 who are NEET (not in employment, education, or training) at 10.5% (60 NEETs).

In total there are 570 young people aged 16 to 17 who are NEET (not in employment, education, or training).

If you work with young people in this area, please encourage them to attend this event. The YPSE team will ensure they receive the support and guidance necessary to help them re-engage with education, employment, or training opportunities.

Further, there will be live and VR demonstrations from emergency services, including a dangerous driving scenario and the jaws of life; fitness tests and tug-of-war run by Forces recruitment services; sports and activities from Hull FC , Hull Kingston Rovers and Tigers Trust ; first aid skills; lifestyle advice including drink and drugs; recruitment, including apprenticeships, cadets; plus stalls, activities and much more.
