PROJECTS
Young People Come Together
An 18-month project providing engagement and support for young people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and a range of learning difficulties and physical disabilities. Delivered in partnership, the project provides physical activities for young people based around movement and boxing training, to engage young people with their peers in small groups, encourage friendships and boost confidence and aspiration. The project also bring parents, carers and families together to share experiences, discuss issues and develop solutions, or simple have a break for a couple of hours and watch their loved ones participating and having fun.
Local People; Local Solutions
A project supporting young people in disadvantaged communities to address issues that affect them in their own lives through group action. The project empowers young people, helps them to come together and form action groups, identify issues, plan for action and deliver results. The support may also include the formalisation of groups to establish social enterprises or charities, register assets as Assets of Community Value, raise funds for project delivery along with a range of other support as required.
Young People Moving Forward
A project engaging local young unemployed individuals to inspire and motivate them and support them towards achiving their goals. The project includes engagement through a range of exciting activities such as dance, boxing, outdoor pursuits, along with talks from high-profile local individuals who have overcome disadvantage to achieve great things. We support young people through self-assessment, goal-setting, planning for success, and help participants access appropriate support for basic needs such as housing, income maximisation, childcare etc, as well as access to formal progression routes such as education, training, apprenticeships and employment or self-employment.
Body, Mind and Digital
A 12-week programme of yoga and mindfulness sessions aimed at older and isolated individuals who may be considering further training and/or employment. The programme will aim to combat social isolation by bringing people together to participate in fun and healthy activities alongside their peers.
Digital Inclusion for Young People
We are able to provide free digital devices (smart phones) and training to help young people who are digitally excluded to get online. The smart phones are yours to keep and we are on hand to offer ongoing support, helping you to access community services, keep in touch with friends and family, and make the most of the digital world.
