“This is the best project I have seen on this estate. It gets the children back playing out. They can take risks which is great as in this day and age every thing is just ridiculously over risk assessed. My children love going there and playing. I am really hoping this project will continue to flourish so it can develop into the dream the organisers have for it!” (Facebook Review by Wendy Jansje -Parent)
​
“It is imperative for this new government to invest more and not cut more from the youth services. We need to keep the youth engaged. We can’t have them roaming the streets to become statistics. Spent the day in Bradford on the Holme Wood estate at The Valley Project, what an amazing facility. The staff were amazing and more importantly the kids were too, so charismatic and charming, they were so engaged in all the activities that were put on for them. We can’t take these types of organisations away, the government need to protect these vulnerable communities.” (Chiedu Oraka – Rapper – Facebook Comment)
“I would 100% recommend this place to others as I’m very appreciative and thankful for my daughter to attend a project and have the same opportunity as other children, due to her having additional needs and being on the autistic spectrum she struggles with her communication skills and neuro diversity; since attending she has come on leaps and bounds and has gone from non verbal to pre verbal & can also count to ten thank you so much for your hard work guys” (Beth - Parent)
