West London Community Comes Together for a Magical Day at WEST Wonderland

On Saturday 14th December, WEST Youth Zone was transformed into a winter wonderland with over 500 attendees enjoying the magic. The event, aptly named WEST Wonderland, was a heart-warming celebration of community and fun which allowed people of all ages to explore our purpose-built Youth Zone.

Families from across West London enjoyed a range of fun activities to spread the festive cheer. The day featured fairground games where young people could win amazing prizes (including headphones, puzzles and boardgames), festive-themed bouncy castles, wintery face painting and a family photo booth to capture the moment. Guests were also able to enjoy delicious £1 hot meals from our BiteCity Cafe, an offer we feature on session all year round.

One of the event’s highlights was the generous donation of over 100 toys from UBS and the East London Business Alliance. These gifts brought immense joy as prizes for all of the lucky winners throughout the day. A heartfelt thank you goes out to these amazing partners for their kindness and support!

Special collaborations added an extra layer of excitement to the day. QPR Trust took over our Skyline Pitch creating unforgettable football fun. Meanwhile, Tie Dye Drama brought the magic of performance by leading engaging drama games in The WEST End.

The festive community spirit made WEST Wonderland a truly magical event, showcasing the incredible togetherness our members and their families bring. We also welcomed new young people as members too – welcome!

Our team extends Thanks to everyone who joined us and to all the partners and volunteers who made the day such a success. Here’s to many more magical moments together in the future!

Monsoon & Accessorize Trust Support WEST Youth Zone for Giving Tuesday 2024

Giving Tuesday, the global day of generosity, is a celebration of the power of giving back. Every year, it follows Black Friday and Cyber Monday (this year landing on Tuesday 3rd December 2023) encouraging individuals and organisations to support causes that make a real difference. This year, Monsoon and Accessorize Trust have chosen to support us – WEST Youth Zone.

Why Giving Tuesday Matters

Giving Tuesday began in 2012 as a day to encourage people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a global movement, inspiring hundreds of millions to donate, volunteer, and advocate for change. Monsoon and Accessorize’s partnership with WEST Youth Zone reflects the spirit of Giving Tuesday — using business for good and showing that together, we can make a difference.

How Are Monsoon & Accessorize Getting Involved?

With their head offices being close by, this Giving Tuesday, an amazing 20% of all UK web sales from Monsoon and Accessorize will be donated to WEST Youth Zone. That means every online purchase that is made helps create incredible opportunities for over 2000 young people in West London. So, whether you’re shopping for the perfect holiday outfit, gifting accessories, or treating yourself, your purchase will contribute to supporting the incredible impact of youth work.
