#YoungPeopleCan
Every young person deserves a chance!
Our key focus is supporting young people who face particular challenges, including young people with experience of the care system, young people with social, emotional and mental health needs, disabled and neurodivergent young people, unaccompanied asylum-seeking children, and young people who are not ready for work.
Transforming young people's lives
We deliver a range of exciting development programmes and drop-in activities to help young people transition to adulthood feeling skilled, supported and positive.
Giving young people a voice
We want to ensure young people have a space to share their voices and lived experiences. We want to enable our young people to influence and make change happen!
