02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
PYCP supports children and young people aged 5 to 18 through a wide range of youth work, play and one to one support. We provide afterschool clubs, evening youth groups, holiday activities and opportunities for young people to develop life skills, confidence, friendships and positive relationships. Many of the children and families we work with experience poverty, social isolation, mental health challenges and other barriers that can affect their wellbeing and opportunities. Our services are completely free and provide welcoming and supportive environments where children and young people can feel safe, develop resilience and access positive experiences within their community.
