Recent Achievements

Peak District Residential, October 2007 - in Spring 2007, a group of young women wrote a successful bid to the Youth Opportunity Fund and received funding to run a residential for 14 young women from different backgrounds to spend three days together getting to know each other and breaking down barriers.  In October 2007, they went to Lockerbrook, an outdoor activity centre in the Peak District, where they had a fantastic time, enjoying caving and team building activities, as well as loads of fun and games… and a very spooky Halloween party out in the hills!!!! Lots of new friendships were formed and a great time was had by all!  Here is one participant’s impression of the trip.

74 young people from Tinsley took part in trips during Summer 2007 organised by Tinsley Forum Youth Project which included visits to Drayton Manor theme park, Underbank Outdoor Activity Centre, Bradford Imax Cinema, Media Museum and Lister Park, Barnsley Metrodome Leisure Centre, and Buxton Horse Riding.  See the photos ...
