The Steve Morgan Foundation pledges £650,000 to OnSide supporting Youth Zones and vital youth programs.
The Steve Morgan Foundation also gives an additional £50,000 yearly for The Dome, which will open in Crewe soon. This brings the total funding to a starting point of £650,000, with the potential for more funding as they work together.
UBS Optimus Foundation helps too, adding ten percent more money. This boosts OnSide’s important programs greatly and pays for youth workers’ salaries, who give valuable support to kids.
Steve Morgan likes this partnership and has worked with OnSide for a long time, starting with Wolverhampton Wanderers. His foundation built a Youth Zone in 2012 called The Way Youth Zone.
The Way gives young folks a safe place to have fun and grow. Over 17,500 young people have used it, getting activities and support there, making Mr. Morgan happy to help OnSide’s work.
Liam Eaglestone, CEO at the Steve Morgan Foundation, said OnSide offers great places for youth. He added that staff and volunteers invest in young lives every day, all year.
OnSide also works with businesses to build Youth Zones in needy areas, creating places full of energy. Skilled youth workers offer support and life-changing chances to the kids.
OnSide runs other programs that help kids gain skills and get support. The “Youth Voice” boosts kids in their communities, letting them speak up and share their thoughts.
Jamie Masraff, the CEO of OnSide, said the foundation supports them and gives funds to OnSide Youth Zones. They work in the foundation’s key areas, making OnSide a strategic partner for them.
This £650,000 provides chances for youth and creates links to several Youth Zones, including Wolverhampton, Wirral, and Warrington. The Crewe site will also benefit from this, and with UBS Optimus Foundation adding ten percent more, this helps young people even more.
