Salford Youth Zone have welcomed their latest patron who have donated £100,000 in the run-up to the opening this summer.
The donation has been made by Alvarez & Marsal (A&M), the leading global professional services firm as a part of a four-year commitment with Empower Youth Zones.
The firm have joined the list of patrons, as they aim to support the charity’s new site, Salford Youth Zone (SYZ) which is set to open in summer 2025, helping improve their facilities and programmes.
The A&M partnership contributes to Empower’s growing donor network and marks a significant step forward in providing vital opportunities and support for young people in Greater Manchester communities.
A&M offers deal advisory, tax and business improvement services and established its Manchester office in 2018.
In September 2024 A&M also relocated to a new office in the city at the Lincoln building, which was opened by Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham.
The Empower Youth Zone patronage is an extension of the support A&M provides to communities across the region.
A&M plans to work with the Youth Zone to promote employability experiences to support young people with developing skills and helping to connect them with future opportunities in the Manchester region.
Jonathan Boyers at Alvarez & Marsal, said: “We are committed to making a meaningful impact on the communities that we operate in.
“We know firsthand the potential of the city, so we’re proud to be supporting young people in the region.”
Jonathon continued: “We are excited to see the difference that Salford Youth Zone will make to the community once open this summer and we will continue to explore additional ways that we can support the Youth Zone’s team and members.”
And the support to younger people will become apparent as SYZ will open this summer, and will provide vital support to thousands of young people across Salford.
The facility will be the latest Empower Youth Zone in Greater Manchester, following the success of HideOut in Gorton which was launched in 2020
As Adam Farricker, CEO of Empower Youth Zones continued: “Alvarez & Marsal’s commitment will bring vital support to help transform young people’s lives across Salford and beyond.
“The firm is firmly embedded in Manchester and the team’s support will help us give young people a safe place to learn and develop outside of the classroom.
“As we move closer to the opening of Salford Youth Zone, it’s fantastic to get more businesses from the Manchester area on board, supporting our vision.”
The facility is set to open this summer and will be situated adjacent to Belvedere Road and Broadwalk in Pendleton – more information about the site can be found here.
