What we offer
Our commissioned youth services are all run by appropriately trained staff. Youth workers at both youth centres and within the community work with young people from 13 to 18 years of age (up to 25 years for specialist learning difficulties and/or disability youth services). Youth workers can provide support and advice for young people on a range of topics such as healthy relationships, accreditation and personal development skills.
