Warrington Youth Zone has received a generous donation of instant ice packs, used to provide pain relief and minimise inflammation from minor injuries, from Crest Medical, helping to support the charity’s Holiday Club and Aspire Holiday Club programmes throughout the school holidays.
The donation will provide essential first aid resources for the hundreds of young people who attend the Youth Zone’s holiday provision, ensuring staff are equipped to respond quickly to minor injuries and keep young people safe while taking part in activities.
By donating the ice packs, Crest Medical is helping Warrington Youth Zone reduce the cost of vital operational resources. The money saved can now be redirected into the charity’s core youth provision, enabling it to continue offering a wide range of activities, support services and opportunities for local young people.
Niamh McElhinney, Holiday Provision & Project Zone Manager at Warrington Youth Zone, said: “I’m so happy that Crest Medical were able to make this donation to the Youth Zone. The safety of our young people is our main priority, and first aid supplies are a must. Having them provided for free like this saves us money, which for charities like the Youth Zone is a huge bonus. Thank you, Crest Medical!”
Freya Watkins, COO at Crest Medical, said: “Warrington Youth Zone provides an invaluable service for young people across our borough, and we are delighted to support their Holiday Club programmes with this donation, and we look forward to continuing to support initiatives that strengthen our local community”.
Warrington Youth Zone supports thousands of young people across the borough every year, providing a safe, welcoming space where they can access positive activities, trusted adults and opportunities to develop new skills. Relationships with local businesses such as Crest Medical play an important role in helping the charity continue delivering high quality support to young people and their families.
The donation is another example of the positive impact that collaboration between local businesses and community organisations can have across Warrington, helping ensure that young people have access to safe and enriching experiences in the school holidays, and when schools are back open.
