Young people living in our Auton children’s home in Newcastle have had a busy month getting involved in exploring many of the topics highlighted by October’s national awareness days.
After discussions with our staff, our young people came up with a mouth-watering way to mark Black History month, creating a menu of traditional Caribbean food and turning their home into a scrumptious street café.
Working with our staff, they’ve also honed in on the topic of mental health awareness by looking at available resources and creating their own amazing artwork for #Yellow Day, which focused specifically on the mental health of young people.
And, turning their attention to the fact that October also represented Global Diversity Awareness month, our young people have painted their own t-shirts in support of the ‘Show Racism the Red Card’ campaign.
With November just around the corner, it’s likely that even more great projects are on their radar.
