We recently celebrated our 10th birthday and held a special Business Breakfast event to mark the occasion. Co-founder Bill Ainscough, our guest speaker, was interviewed by Chairman Gary Speakman, and we heard from our CEO, Anthony Ashworth-Steen and our Head of Fundraising, Lynsey Heyes.
Chairman Gary Speakman engaged co-founder Bill Ainscough in a captivating conversation, recounting stories from his childhood, finding his path in business, family life, and the inception of Wigan Youth Zone.
Attendees were treated to a sneak peek of the #generationwiganyouthzone video, showcasing how Wigan Youth Zone has become an integral part of the community. The video highlights the organization’s deep connections within the borough, further emphasizing its positive impact on young lives.
We ended the event by catching up with local businesses and tucking into birthday cake!
We hold the Business Breakfast quarterly and bring together business people from all corners of the borough. The event serves as an exceptional networking opportunity, fostering collaboration and encouraging attendees to contribute their expertise, resources, and networks to support the organisation’s mission.
As Wigan Youth Zone embarks on our next decade, we do so with optimism and determination. With continued community support and the involvement of passionate individuals like Bill Ainscough, we will continue making a profound and lasting difference in the lives of young people.
