"Lighting Up Young Lives: EnergyAce’s Partnership with Wigan Youth Zone"

EnergyAce believes that creating brighter futures starts with supporting the communities around us.  

That’s why our ongoing partnership with Wigan Youth Zone (WYZ) holds a special place in our hearts. For years, we’ve supported this remarkable charity that transforms the lives of young people in Wigan and Leigh.  

Their 2024 Impact Report showcases the incredible difference they’ve made – and we’re proud to have played a part. 

A Year of Impact and Growth 

Wigan Youth Zone is a hub of opportunity and support for over 5,000 young members. In 2024 alone, they recorded more than 50,000 visits. From free meals to mental health support, everything they offer is an investment in brighter futures.  

Our donation of £1,500 directly contributed to sustaining their essential programmes and creating new opportunities. 

This year, Wigan Youth Zone made impressive strides in several areas: 

  • Raising aspirations. 93% of members reported feeling more confident about their futures, with noticeable gains in physical health (83%) and determination (81%). 
  • Reducing isolation. By encouraging real-world connections, youth zones help young people step away from screens, with over 93% saying the experience positively shaped their lives. 
  • Providing critical support. Over 5,300 free meals were served, and 643 safeguarding concerns were managed with care and professionalism. 

Stories That Inspire 

Behind the numbers are real people with incredible journeys.  

Take Steven, for example. After struggling with confidence and direction, he joined Wigan Youth Zone’s Pathway 2 Employment programme. With the help of caring youth workers, he gained the skills and self-belief to secure a full-time care assistant role.  

Stories like Steven’s remind us why this partnership matters. 

WYZ’s new initiatives, like the Life Skills+ programme and Step Up sessions, are breaking barriers for young people. By providing safe spaces, mentorship, and resources, they’re helping kids thrive in school, work, and life. 

The UFC partnership was another standout moment this year, offering members once-in-a-lifetime experience with MMA champion Tom Aspinall and former UFC flyweight Muhammad Mokaev. These events inspire young people to dream big and discover their passions.
