We are a group of 17 and 18 year olds who are taking part in our National Citizen Service (NCS).  For our social action project we are working with Youth Action Wiltshire, Hills and Wiltshire Wildlife Trust to renovate a disused building so that it can be used to run sessions for young people.

Once finished the space will be used to deliver a range of sessions and courses for young people, including woodwork, recycling furniture, learning about the environment, cooking, healthy living and having fun! 

We would like to raise money to purchase equipment so that we can deliver cookery, woodwork, Maths, English and ICT and to make sure it a nice environment for young people to develop life skills and spend time in.  

We hope that young people using this facility will gain confidence, develop new skills and achieve qualifications, meet new people from different backgrounds and have fun.  

Sessions and courses will be run for;

-Young Carers 
-Young people who are NEET (Not in education employment or training). 
-Young people who live in poverty
-Young people with mental heath issues and at risk of offending/disengaging from mainstream society 

 

Youth Action Wiltshire work with Social Services, Youth Offending Teams, Schools/Colleges, Social Housing Agencies, Integrated Youth Services and other external agencies to ensure they are working with young people who most need our support.

Thank you for reading about our project and any donation you give.
