In the quiet of the NYA offices today it feels like the calm after the storm.
Yesterday our building was bustling with new faces and the sound of street music as we launched the new-look NYA with the support of local dignitaries, youth professionals NYA team members and, most important of all, young people.
More than 100 guests turned out to welcome arrival of our new brand:
and website:

which have been created to support the implementation of our robust business model.
Young people from across Leicestershire had the opportunity to try out street arts provided by Pedestrian, including DJ’ing, Parkour and Street Dance.
It seemed that our new logo couldn’t wait to be revealed though - unveiling itself half an hour before time, just as we were briefing the film crew from ITV Central News on what the grand unveil would actually be!
But, the young Parkour trainers and members of Leicester Parkour Club came to the rescue and welcomed the new-look NYA in style by performing a Mexican Tumble, much to the amazement of many of the guests.
Now, its down to business – we have a strong business model in place and it already seems to be working its magic… watch this space for some exciting announcements to be made in the near future!
