What is this group?
A weekly group, supporting up to 15 young people within the borough, to build on social skills and confidence, to become more resilient and improve their social inclusion.
Each group runs for 12 weeks and is led by qualified staff and experienced volunteers who bring innovative ideas and skills to deliver a tailored, effective programme which will have both structured and unstructured activities.
Young people will set individual and group goals to work towards with the aim of improving skills and confidence so that they feel able to go on to join and participate in activities at universal groups.
