We also organise day trip such as a visit to Thorpe park, kayaking, a visit to the skate park and splashdown.

Supporting Young People
Youth workers are on hand to support young people around a range of issues these include relationships including friendships, family, school and romantically.  They also support young people around anti–social behaviour, drugs and alcohol, education and life choices.  If a young person wants help youth workers will be on hand to support them the best they can.
Youth workers are also able to support young people to access specialised services. For example, this could be a referral to drugs and alcohol support services they can also facilitate the young people attending these services.
