Development of a victorian shop building with heritage value with an adjoining new build to house Youthy.com- a youth centre for the young people of Runcorn. This will provide a safe space for them to learn and grow their passions. Facilities in this centre are set to include a winter garden, lobby and indoor venue for cultural events as well as an outdoor garden space to grow fresh produce. The indoor space will also allow for classroom style rooms, kitchen facilities for cooking classes using some of the fresh produce grown in the outdoor garden and communal areas for the young people to connect and socialise
This year has begun with full steam ahead for the team at Power In Partnership (PIP) and on site at the Youthy.com development
The first two apprentices, Matty and Danny started on site at 57-59 High Street at the beginning of February with Warden Contractors, after completing their asbestos awareness, Construction Skills Certification Scheme and Health & Safety qualifications with the support and funding from PIP
Our North
PIP World of Work Activities
​
our learner’s visited the studio of Liverpool based contemporary artist, David Jacques. Dave explained how he works in different media; paint, film, animation, poetry and music. All of these elements come together in his latest project exploring the oil industry.
​
We then visited the Tate Gallery of Modern Art and the Open Eye Gallery at Albert Dock. The exhibition ‘North’ was showing at the Open Eye which looked at the contribution the north of England has made to global popular culture, specifically fashion, music and the club scene.
These are all employment fields that our learners can relate to and think about training or finding work experience via retail, design, IT, graphic art, printing, photography, music, promotion etc.
The learners were then asked to put forward their interpretation of the North using images they they would produce themselves using photographic images.
