Objectives

We work supporting young people usually 11 - 18 year olds sometimes they are vulnerable or disadvantaged, sometimes they are looking for opportunity and development, sometimes they just need a listening ear.

Our vision for young people is to:

have a safe and fun space to meet
have opportunities to talk and discover meaning in life
feel positive about themselves
feel valued as individuals
feel part of a community to which they contribute
be supported to make wise, informed decisions

The young people tell us we make a difference to their lives. That we accept them as they are and are not judgemental, that we help them to think things through for themselves and aren't told what to do, that they can access help at their greatest times of need, or can have opportunities to help them grow as individuals.
