Joe Robertson MP Visits Network Ryde to Support Youth Services and Community Engagement

Joe Robertson, recently visited Network Ryde to meet with Bex, Jo, and Kaiya and learn more about the valuable work the award-winning youth service is doing in the community. The service, provided by Ryde Town Council, offers a welcoming and inclusive space for young people in school years 7 to 13, as well as those in home education.

During his visit, Joe had the opportunity to hear about Network Ryde’s broad range of activities, including drop-in sessions, cookery classes, allotment projects, and the Duke of Edinburgh Award programme. These activities are designed to engage young people, build life skills, and provide support in a safe and positive environment. Network Ryde is open six days a week and has become an essential resource for local youth, offering a varied and exciting programme of events.

“It was fantastic to visit Network Ryde and meet with Bex, Jo, and Kaiya to hear more about the incredible work they’re doing to support young people in our community,” said Joe Robertson. “From cookery classes to the Duke of Edinburgh Award programme, it’s clear that Network Ryde plays a vital role in helping young people develop new skills, build confidence, and create lasting friendships.”

Joe Robertson praised Network Ryde for its positive impact on local youth and its efforts to create a safe, inclusive space for young people, where they can explore new opportunities and feel supported in their personal development.
