1. We provide Didcot’s young people (YP) with support with addressing the multiple challenges they face, building self-esteem, providing opportunities to use their time constructively and helping them to recognise and access the full range of choices they have for how they lead their lives.
2. We provide the community of Didcot with a:

• Reduction in crime and the fear of crime at the hands of its YP.
• Means for the whole community to help its YP, having a positive impact on the community’s civic pride and identity and helping its disadvantaged YP to take part in the current growth in self-confidence and civic pride of the town.
• Young person’s engagement and a voice, contribution towards and integration into the garden town ethos and culture.

We do this by using a combination of competent paid youth workers and volunteers selected and trained to deliver quality youth work to Didcot’s YP, particularly those who are vulnerable or disadvantaged. We seek to provide early interventions in lives of YPs, to prevent risks and difficulties from developing into crises. Our activities include detached and outreach youth work, and typically individual and team-based activities of the nature of one to one and group mentoring, football, yoga, boxing, gender awareness raising, mental health, Participation Pathways, Dinner & Debate, Young Women’s and Young Men’s groups, music, trips and fun activities in the evenings and school holidays.
