Detached

Detached Youth Work is a method of working with young people outside of traditional youth services such as youth clubs. It involves workers leaving our buildings and working with young people in a range of settings which are not managed or controlled by the worker. Detached Youth Work targets young people who are not attached to other youth services or who are isolated and disadvantaged within their community.

The work is broadly aimed at building positive relationships with young people, providing individual and collective support, helping young people to access information and resources, and achieving their identified goals.

That rise alone swallows up not just £400 help for all homes,but even the £1,200 for the poorest

This will leave many destitute. Tax cuts won't
...help poorest incl many elderly & disabled who've higher usage

Cutting green levy'd be just tiny sticking plaster on a gaping wound...
