Summer HITZ 2018 & Carlisle Pageant
We had a great HITZ creative week preparing for Carlisle Pageant, helped by artists from Prism Arts. Thanks to artists; Ali McCaw assisted by Rachel, Helen Walsh, and Kat Prior, together we made a giant puppet. Thank you to the members and parents who came to take part in the parade on Saturday 1st September.
We had a fantastic 5 weeks HITZ Holiday Club this year. Our themed weeks proved very popular with something for everyone. We welcomed 359 individual young people from across Carlisle and beyond. They enjoyed a variety of activities as well as visits from Magical Mel, Laughter Yoga, Bushcraft, neon party and their involvement in the Carlisle Pageant and our talent show.
Give a day to the city – week of 6 July 2018
It was an amazing week here at CYZ, we’ve had the absolute pleasure of working side by side with some truly amazing people & businesses who’ve given up their time to help us transform the outside area.
We really are very grateful, thank you so much to everyone who helped or donated tools & resources, especially Martha who headed up the project (she’s extra special)
We’re very very happy with our new outdoor space & 1000% sure the kids are too!
Thank you everyone from the bottom of our TeamCYZ hearts

Children’s University
Children’s university is a national programme, it is designed to raise aspirations and encourage young people to engage in learning activities and experiences outside of school hours.
Carlisle Youth Zone is a Children’s University learning destination; this means young people can acquire stamps for participating in activities here at CYZ!
HOW IT WORKS
Local schools provide pupils interested with a passport, which they then take along to a learning destination (such as CYZ) for each hour a young person spends specifically participating in activity which promotes learning, developing life skills or physical activity, they acquire one stamp.
WHAT DO YOUNG PEOPLE ACHIEVE?
BRONZE AWARD – 30 COMPLETED HOURS
SILVER AWARD – 65 COMPLETED HOURS
GOLD AWARD – 100 COMPLETED HOURS
They will also attend a graduation event, wearing graduation gown and cap.
Please note…
Stamps cannot be backdated if a young person forgets to bring along their passport.
Passports can only be obtained from schools signed up to the children’s university.
For more information speak to Emma or visit ChildrensUniversity.co.uk

Welcome to
Carlisle youth zone
Carlisle Youth Zone is a safe and fun environment where the potential of young people is developed and fulfilled.
We are open 6 night a week and during school holidays we run our successful Holiday Club. The Youth Zone provides a safe meeting place for young people, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, where they can, for a nominal entrance fee, participate in a wide range of positive activities.
