Youth Work

Storytelling is a way to share and learn ideas, values and practices.
Storytellers remember something of their life or of the life of others; the listeners can relate to the story and retell it, maybe adding a little of their own experience. Thus stories bring people together. Stories offer a connection between a past that is told, the present and the future, and help to connect people around feelings, information and shared experiences.

Yard Talk is a podcast which brings together young people, community members and professionals to explore narratives on a series of issues,

It creates mini series on a variety of issues led by young people and community members.

Our community circles are people powered community organising.

Working relationally to create social change we utilise the skills, talents, resources and the passion people have.

Community powered action needs people like YOU!

Our street based youth work teams, are out and about in the community throughout the week. 

Challenging the socially constructed narratives that exist through social education, innovation and creativity. 

Creating safer and connected communities where young people have an authentic voice.

The process of young people transforming an area with flowers, greenery or vegetables provides young people with the chance to take responsibility for their community

 Challenging the negative narrative that can exist in communities of young people. 

Every Friday evening we run an online youth club for 12 - 16 year olds. 

Young people use the online space to hang out, meet friends and chat with youth workers.  

They take part in discussions, activities in a safe space.

This project raises awareness through identifying & exploring dangers of risk taking behaviours / gang culture. 

It increases motivation for change through appropriate interventions which examines factors for modifying, amending and transforming behaviours

This project supports young people to set direction and inspire others 

Young people design and direct the activities of a group enabling them to shape policy and decision making.  They engage, listen, support and represent with integrity
