In October, our team had the unique opportunity to step away from the usual office setting and embark on a day of growth and camaraderie. Our destination was the Warrington Youth Zone, where we were greeted with a warm welcome and an inspiring agenda.
We commenced our day in one of the Youth Zone’s high-quality meeting rooms, providing the perfect backdrop to share updates and insights from various corners of our business. The highlight of our morning was a thought-provoking workshop led by our HR manager, Amrit Gata-Aura.
Before breaking for lunch, we had the privilege of meeting Dave McNicholl, the Chief Executive of Warrington Youth Zone. Dave offered a fascinating glimpse into the organisation’s history, tracing its roots from the Warrington Boys Club, opened in 1950 by HRH Princess Margaret, to its current transformation into the vibrant Warrington Youth Zone. It was clear that this journey was made possible by the unwavering support of the local community, with special recognition to Nick “Hoppy” Hopkinson.
Warrington Youth Zone is dedicated to “Inspiring young people to achieve”. Their mission revolves around supporting the holistic development of young individuals, equipping them with essential skills, knowledge, self-awareness, and confidence. They empower young people to make positive and informed life choices through diverse programs tailored to different age groups.

Following a delicious lunch, we enjoyed exploring the Youth Zone’s impressive facilities, guided by Marie Howorth, the Business Administration Manager, and her team. The afternoon’s highlight was an exciting competition where the Eternal Engagements team was split into two groups.
The activities ranged from scaling climbing walls to inflatable darts, curling, miniature golf, and even a penalty shoot-out. The competition was fierce, and the energy was infectious. Ultimately, we celebrated the victorious team comprising Carl, Emma, Joe, and Hannah. Congratulations!
Our team left the Warrington Youth Zone with hearts full of gratitude and excitement for the future. We are eager to continue supporting this incredible organisation in any way possible.
We want to thank the entire Warrington Youth Zone team for opening your doors to us and creating a day filled with laughter and teamwork.
We look forward to our continued partnership and the positive impact we can create together.
