Celebrating
Two Years!
On 24th May 2005
The Box opened its doors for the first time when
over 70 young
people attended the first after school session.
Since then The
Box has developed a valuable range of resources and services for young
people in the Epping area. As well as the highly popular after school and
Friday evening open sessions The Box has developed a successful Alternative
Education Programme in partnership with St. John's School and a wide
range of partner organisations deliver important services for young people
at The Box. Thanks to an experienced and dedicated team of volunteers The
Box is now open to young people for more than 30 hours each week and is
frequently in use seven days a week.
As we enter our
third year on Epping High Street we are excited by the possibilities of
extending our range of provision further. |
