8-week programme, providing personal development opportunities through practical activities that will develop Young People’s confidence whilst giving them skills in team building, problem solving and communication. Each week is thematic, moving from ‘preparing for success’, through life skills and interpersonal skills, all the way into resilience and taking ownership of next steps. Each Young Person will have a dedicated Youth Development Lead with whom they’ll work on their individual goals and aspirations, from pre-Programme onboarding, all the way through the Programme. This contact can continue for 3 months post-Programme, so the young person has continued support moving forwards. The Programme is part time, starting with a three-day access week, moving to two days per week thereafter, finishing with the opportunity to attend a three-day residential trip.
