Future In Mind
Future in Mind is a national initiative from the Department of Health and NHS England. The programme has a clear ambition to transform mental health services for children, young people and their families.
Heritage
The Wakefield Asian Archive tells the story of the Pakistani and Kashmiri community in Wakefield. Spanning almost 70 years, the story starts with those who left their homeland, embarking on a journey of many miles and recounts why they came to Wakefield.
Pakistan
Next Generation Youth and Community Project has been twinned with two schools in Kotli, in Azaad Kashmir, Pakistan and continues to support and fundraise for the schools and their local community.
This is my story… now tell me yours!
Young people from Next Generation are collecting stories that tell the history of the Pakistani community over the past 70 years.
I would stand in the street watching the older kids play during the summer. In particular, I would watch the 4 Ahmed brothers who lived directly opposite our house play cricket in their back garden.
Sajid shared his story, now share yours.
