A Warrington business bank is throwing its weight behind a youth charity that inspires young people to achieve with financial and voluntary support.
Redwood Bank has announced its new partnership with Warrington Youth Zone (WYZ), demonstrating its commitment to supporting young people in the local community.
As part of this collaboration, Redwood is making a donation to help fund essential programmes and will be actively involved in volunteering initiatives throughout 2025.
Alex John, ESG manager at Redwood Bank, said: “At Redwood, we believe in investing in a sustainable and equitable future. That’s why we are proud to be partnering with Warrington Youth Zone to support young people in our community.
“WYZ provides vital programmes, from sports and arts to mental health support and employability skills, truly making a real difference to the lives of young people.
“Their work is having a huge impact. 85% of young people report having more friends because of the Youth Zone. Parents are noticing a difference in their children too, with 100% saying that the Youth Zone has improved family life.”
Warrington Youth Zone provides a safe and inspiring space for young people aged seven to 19, or up to 25 if they have additional needs. They offer the young people a range of activities designed to promote personal growth, wellbeing and essential life skills.
With a strong focus on accessibility, the charity is open seven days a week and is fully accessible for young people with additional needs or disabilities.
Redwood’s donation will contribute towards WYZ’s mission to support young people by providing engaging activities, skills development and mental health support.
The organisation works closely with schools, councils and other local partners to address the needs of young people and their families.
In addition to financial support, Redwood Bank staff will be participating in volunteering initiatives throughout 2025 to further engage with and assist the charity’s efforts.
“This partnership reflects Redwood Bank’s ongoing commitment to social responsibility and community investment.
“By working together with Warrington Youth Zone, the Bank aims to help create a brighter future for the young people of Warrington, equipping them with the skills, confidence, and opportunities they need to succeed.”
