Overall, you will need to be able to hold and manage the bigger picture.
Zac’s ( The Sycamore Project) has always put the needs of the young people at the heart of all it does, and so its projects are always evolving, with new services being set up all the time in order to meet the increasing needs of its young people and the wider community.
As well as centre-based activities,schools work emerged as another important strand of the charity, with support being offered to several schools across Bolton, in a variety of ways (e.g. lunchtime clubs, pupil mentoring support, and targeted issues-based work).
In 2017, with mental health concerns emerging as a major issue for the young people in the community, a new “Young Persons Listening Service” and “Healthy Minds” peer support group was set up as part of a new “Thrive alliance” working in partnership with other Bolton based charities and with funding from Bolton CCG.
Whilst the charity has changed and evolved since being formed, the heart of serving the community and being faith based not biased has never and will never change.
