Here is what we can cover:

Engaging Residents in High Crime Neighbourhoods

Our team have worked with the Home Office to understand how Youth & Community Development in partnership with residents changes lives and neighbourhoods.

People Out of Long-Term Secure Employment

Our experience of leading community based support, in neighbourhoods, on people's doorsteps co-created our 'into work and training' programmes. Building a community based, ongoing support as people changed the confidence and routines back to work.  

Drug and Alcohol Services

Our innovation in sports, youth participation and working with perpetrators of domestic violence has addressed substance misuse issues and hidden harms.

Acute Mental Health

Our experience of working with Rape Crisis, in secure mental health settings and in welfare rights has given us a range and depth to this sector.

Youth Offending and Diversion

From youth mentoring, parenting and family support, befriending, advocacy and court support, our team have led new ways of reducing offending through skills and asset based community development approaches.

Community Safety Mapping and Contextual Safeguarding

Young people know their communities well, with their day to day knowledge of what happens, by who and where. Our safety mapping with individuals and groups helps to put youth voice front and centre of contextual safeguarding.

Child Exploitation

Kick started by a group of young women facing sexual exploitation, our True Knowledge project grew through Local Authority and Home Office investment to a coproduced success in strengths based mentoring and youth led social action.

Autism Spectrum and Hidden Disabilities

Long waiting lists for formal diagnosis has increased demand for our Youth Workers to mentor young people's self-awareness and develop good strategies in and out of school. 

Children’s Rights and Care Experiences

Advocacy, mentoring, participation and informal education underpin our experience of working with children supported by social workers and who are Looked After. 

Rural and Isolated Communities

From street based consultation to digital support groups, we learnt how to build on our practice during covid, to connect people in today's society. 

Affluent Communities

Community Development is about all communities; our approaches have been embedded in supporting inclusive communities to improve the daily lives for all. 

Systemwide Stakeholders

Our consultants have built their social action research with young people, residents, communities and practitioners to inform system development in understanding strengths, needs, services and best practice.

VCSE

Our well-respected service delivery has supported and strengthened the VCSE offer for children, young people and families. We are active in leading and developing the practice across the sector.
