Our lead partners will coordinate your placement with a group of 8 complementing local organisations, who have worked together supporting young people since 2006.

    The organisations deliver practical support and goals, developing positive mental health, well-being for individuals, family, and foster solution focussed community awareness

  • Your youth work placement will assist them in delivering support for families, youth, as well as giving a great deal of encouragement to the teams.

    Your youth work placement could involve you in community building, school outreach work, youth suicide prevention, youth clubs, sports, supporting the counselling they provide, various support and well-being groups, and activities they have established in schools, universities, and their communities.
