We believe that young people are part of the solution to improving disadvantaged areas. We encourage them to participate in positive community action to build confidence and self-esteem, and encourage interaction between young people and adults to challenge the negative perceptions of youth that many people hold.
We also give young people opportunities to take part in training and gain the expertise for work. And we work with schools to support ‘at risk’ young people, providing them with positive experiences and building the skills that will allow them to move forwards with education or training.
