Legacy Youth Zone has officially launched a powerful new initiative, the Legacy 100 Club, aimed at engaging local businesses in a long-term commitment to support youth development across the borough.
The Legacy 100 Club brings together 100 local companies, each pledging to contribute £100 monthly over 12 months, creating a sustainable and collective impact on the lives of thousands of young people.
The initiative is designed to generate £120,000 in a year, with all funds directly invested in the diverse youth programs delivered by Legacy Youth Zone. The organization offers a wide range of services to young people aged 8 to 19, and up to 25 for those with additional needs. This approach ensures broad and inclusive community support.
A Strategic Partnership for Lasting Youth Development
This new initiative is part of Legacy Youth Zone’s ongoing mission to create a secure, inspiring environment where young people can thrive. Through access to safe spaces, creative workshops, mentoring, sports, and skills-building programs, the center gives young people the opportunity to grow personally, academically, and professionally.
Myke Catterall, CEO of Legacy Youth Zone emphasized that the initiative offers a clear and measurable way for companies to invest in their community while contributing to long-term youth empowerment.
“This is about local businesses standing shoulder-to-shoulder for the next generation.” said Myke Catterall.
“For just £100 a month, companies can have a lasting impact , and together, 100 of us can raise £120,000 in just 12 months to invest in youth and build a lasting Legacy.”
£120,000 in Annual Funding to Empower Local Youth
With one hundred businesses committing to £100 each month, the Legacy 100 Club is positioned to generate £120,000 in total funding annually. These funds will be directed exclusively toward enhancing and expanding youth services, ensuring even more young people can access the tools and opportunities they need to succeed.
This initiative offers businesses a tangible, cost-effective way to support the community while aligning with corporate social responsibility (CSR) goals and promoting social impact.
