Y Services - youth work charity

Aim: We are raising money to support young people across all of our youth projects to learn about their financial wellbeing for their future.

Y Services started in 2011, providing youth work opportunities to young people.  Activities include one to one support, fun activities at youth clubs and specialist support to young people who may have additional needs.

Funding will be used to support youth work opportunities for young people in Fareham, Gosport, Havant and Portsmouth. Our 8 youth work projects follow the NYA curriculum of youth work which includes: supporting young people with their economic & financial wellbeing. Young people 13-19 years will benefit & will have access to activities that support them to learn skills which include budgeting & work experience. 10 youth volunteering programmes will be funded & at least 500 individuals reached.

Comments Young people have feedback that our service has included:  “I feel more listened to”, “Made me feel more comfortable being me” , “Improved school behaviour” ,“It has given me a safe place to go” and “it has made me less nervous to talk to new people, as when I joined everyone was nice”
