Empowering Youth Voices at the Blackbridge CCBS

FWP Ltd is proud to support Blackbridge in the development of the Community & Sports Hub in Gloucester. Our involvement goes beyond the design and development of the new building; we’re also deeply committed to engaging with the local youth through the Synergy group. This partnership ensures that young people’s voices are integral to creating a space that serves their needs and aspirations.

Recently, we collaborated with Blackbridge to host a productive workshop with the Synergy group. Our Managing Partner, David and Interior Designer, Kate worked closely with these young participants, exploring their ideas and gathering valuable input on the design elements of the new hub. It was inspiring to see their enthusiasm and creativity, as they shared perspectives that will help shape the project.

Our engagement with the Synergy group is a cornerstone of this project. By including young people from Podsmead and the area immediately local to the hub at every stage of the design process, we aim to create a hub that truly reflects their needs and preferences. This initiative not only fosters creativity and skill development but also ensures that the hub will be a vibrant, multifunctional space for sports, arts, and social activities.
