ACTION FOR YOUTH

Action for Youth aims to provide a variety of youth programmes for young people in areas where there is little or no established youth work, or with young people who do not use any existsing youth programmes.

'A special and sincere thanks for all your efforts with my youngsters throughout the year.'

Since 1994, our Action for Youth programme has provided over 600 day activity places for young people in 12 towns & villages throughout Gloucestershire, Gwent and Herefordshire.  A small number of projects served young people in London and Bristol.

Around 75% of our activity program has been based in Mitcheldean.  The remaining 25% has been taken up by smaller or specialist programmes.  Of these, some were independantly operated by Action for Youth, and others in partnership with existing project groups.  Since 1994, Action for Youth has provided hundreds of young people with a quality youth work service where they have enjoyed residential holidays and day activities like sailing, caving and bowling together with organised trips to theme parks and similar attractions.

Without Action for youth, areas where there is no provision made for such activites, young people have benefited where they would have otherwise missed out.
