York [DAY 9]

IMG_1941

First day out in York and started with lunch in Shambles Kitchen; a small café in the Shambles. The manager’s a really friendly man and he serves quick food which is of very high quality. Imagine restaurant quality food at fast food pace. The wraps that are available are for example: rice, chicken, tomatoes, herbs. They also do such good smoothies. A great little place for a quick lunch.

 

Sevenoaks Youth Café

As a Sevenoaks Youth Councillor, we had a project that had been a dream for 20 years in the eyes of young people in Sevenoaks. For us, we had nothing, nowhere to go and we were neglected in our town. We need a youth café. We had a place in the heart of the town, a place to make our own, but we needed £150,000 to build it and that seemed impossible. However we won a bid, we presented ourselves to the Cory Environmental Trust and they believed in us. So it began, it was created and it is starting to become loved by the young people in Sevenoaks. Adam Wedd, the manager, is bringing young people together through music and I’ve been lucky enough to be a part of it. Any time soon I will post my next video of the acoustic night, last week, which had some amazing acts. I’m not kidding, there was so much talent in that room.
