We have experience of running tailor made projects to suit specific target groups for example lone parents, people with disabilities and those identified within the NEET group. We receive funding for pilot projects to assist in the research and development of new services.

Enrichment

To promote a positive attitude towards engaging in learning we incorporate enrichment to include keep fit such as football, team building days and residential camping trips to organising dance and fashion shows.

These activities also provide an opportunity for the young person to develop their skills to become a valued member of society.
