Hove YMCA Resident at Thorpe ParkAt
the start of July Hove YMCA trialled a loyalty card scheme in the
Lansworth House housing project. Each resident was given a loyalty card
and any resident who got five stamps on their card was able to enjoy a
trip to Thorpe Park
To receive a stamp on the card residents were asked to attend or take
part in a number of activities. The activities included, attending a
sexual health night, a drug awareness night, working on the Hove YMCA
allotment and taking part in volunteer work in the housing projects.
Due to the success of the trial, Hove YMCA is now hoping to introduce
the loyalty card to all Hove YMCA housing projects and future trips are
already being planned for residents currently participating the scheme.
Hove YMCA Residents Get Wet at Thorpe ParkMichelle,
a Hove YMCA support worker, said 'It was wonderful to see the residents
working with the project for a joint cause. The project encouraged them
to take part in activities that they normally wouldn't take part in.
Residents were very enthusiastic and excited at the prospect of going
on the trip. There was a happier atmosphere around the house which was
enjoyed by all.'
