Young people aged 11-18 are being provided with weekly 1-2-1 sessions with an experienced youth worker. These sessions are designed to empower young people to become emotionally resilient and capable of achieving their full potential.

Alongside mentoring, Groundwork creates a safe, inclusive space where young people can make friends, build confidence and shape activities that matter to them. Through social action and environmental projects, young people develop skills, improve wellbeing and have their voices heard on local issues.
