Every now and then, we get to meet people who are doing incredible and important work, and making a real difference to people’s lives. Last Wednesday was one of those times. Why? Because we visited Base 25 in Wolverhampton city centre.
Base 25 is a remarkable space offering much-needed support to young people across Wolverhampton, and their Head of Service, Alan Jarvis, had invited us along to see what he and his team do. In any calendar year, they work with and support up to 9000 young people, helping them shape their lives and reach their potential. As we say, it’s vital, life-changing, important work, and it was both a pleasure and a privilege to meet the team who are so dedicated to it.
The visit also gave us the opportunity to tick another item off our collective bucket list – because of the generosity of those people who came along to our events in 2024, we’d been able to donate £355.27 to Base 25, and one of the reasons we’d been asked to visit was so that we could have our photo taken to mark this. Not just any photo, either. A photo with a giant cheque, because who doesn’t love a giant cheque? Achievement level unlocked. Thanks, Alan and team. Get in!
