02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

Our charity although established many years ago has gone from strength to strength since COVID. Our overriding aim is to provide a warm/welcoming environment for young people offering support and guidance when needed . With both Drop In and Field we were able to deliver youth work in a completely different way. The Drop In is open 6 nights a week/5 days with The Field also complementing our programme offering wider achievement opportunities. We work closely with partner agencies that use both Drop In facilities or field. The Field is used by school groups of all ages, nurseries and other partners. The Place use it to work with groups of non attenders or youngsters who struggle to work in a school environment. We also use it as a community resource to deliver playschemes/family fun days and community events. The Drop In is used by different partners such as SDS/Young mum’s group/many unaccompanied asylum seeker groups/Mikeysline ( a mental health support group) and youth clubs.
