Empowering Young People for a Better Future

We are a children and young people's charity that supports children, young people and their families through a range of services. We focus our activities on:
Prevention - street and centre-based youth work with children and young people
Targeted support - one to one and group work for children and young people who, for whatever reason, need more focused support including through alternative provision using nature-based learning to engage young people who may struggle in the school environment.
Progression Opportunities - employability and social action projects.

We also work with families with children whose behaviour challenges through our NVR - Families Together Programme. The programme focuses on supporting parent/carers to break the cycle of challenging behaviours whilst building positive relationships within the family unit. Each week will focus on a different topic, including de-escalation, parental presence, emotions and how to regulate them, unmet needs, supporter systems and applying learning.
