YPSF Projects
As well as our regular services we also run fixed term projects and one off activities. These projects and activities enable us to explore new ways of working with young people and help us to decide what kinds of new services will achieve the best outcomes.
Our very successful Homeless Prevention Service started life as a short term innovation project for 16 and 17 yr olds and has quickly become an important part of Manchester’s homelessness strategy. Group work activities can provide meaningful character forming experiences for young people who are often denied the opportunities of family life. The personal growth and realisation of personal attributes that can take place during such things as outdoor activities, women’s group or residential experience is heart-warming and meaningful. How much better a young person can deal with the trials of life when they are feeling positive about themselves.
