Beneficiaries
Situation
Young people (YP) experiencing disadvantage are more likely to engage in or be impacted by high rates of crime & unemployment, low academic attainment, early sexual encounters, early exposure to drugs & alcohol & poor mental health. Our YP often don't have the right support at home or school, but don't meet the threshold for statutory services. Most of the time they just need someone in their corner to listen to & support them without judgment so they can get back on track.
Solution
As a prevention service, we support YP to make better choices & maintain a positive mindset. Our youth workers position themselves as trusted mentors, offering a light-touch approach with a focus on building relationships & offering individualised support. We use games, arts & crafts to cover topics like confidence, body image & healthy relationships. We provide 1-2-1 coaching & peer support group sessions, supporting c400 YP in the East Midlands each year.
