'We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future' - Franklin D. Roosevelt

As the main providers of youth work in Barne Barton, Plymouth, we aim to take a young person led approach to our practice, facilitating the empowerment of young people to make positive change in the community.

We work with children and young people aged 5 to 25 on a range of projects as outlined below.

Our work is built upon the foundations of a consultation designed, delivered and evaluated by young people from the community. These Community Ambassadors play a key part in the formation of provision and will form a youth forum that will enable young people to continue to be heard.

Our values

Throughout our work with Children & Young People, we will:

• Be creative - we explore new ideas and approaches, looking for what will add real value.
• Be collaborative - we will work with our partners to achieve the best results.
• Be inclusive - we value diversity and will work to make sure that the opportunities we provide are open to all.
• Use evidence - we base what we say and do on research with the community and our own experiences working in Barne Barton.
• Work with integrity - we are open and honest and do what we believe is best for our community.
