Social Action Awards at Buckingham Palace
Friday 17th February 2017The 1st Battersea Company has been shortlisted for Youth United’s Social Action Awards.
The Company visited and forged links with a local care home for people with elderly care needs, dementia, learning disability, mental health conditions and physical disabilities. The young people took time to speak with the residents, and listen to some of their real-life stories from the past. They helped to serve lunch to the residents, explained more about their Company and what they do, and supported residents in activities such as music and gardening. In turn, the residents were able to get a sense of some of the social action initiatives being undertaken by young people in their community. Both the young people and residents benefited from the visit and have already arranged future visits.
Let us know what social action your Company have planned or have completed this year on Twitter @TheBBEngland or by email to ewhq@boys-brigade.org.uk
