YOUTH CONNECT SOUTH WEST

Youth Connect South West deliver open access youth work sessions in Radstock every Monday and Wednesday, 7-9pm. The Youth Work team host these sessions, along with project work, at the youth centre on Church Street for young people aged 13-19. The team provide activities for young people which include cooking, arts and crafts and sports activities. This autumn, the team have been hosting a wellbeing project for young women from Radstock, looking at practical techniques and ways to promote positive health and wellbeing. Funded by Radstock Town Council, the team have been able to host an 8-week project that incorporates the arts, outdoors/ nature, meditation/mindfulness, plus allowing a practitioner to host some yoga. On the back of the successful summer Holiday Activity Fund (HAF), that was led by Bath Rugby Foundation (BRF) and funded through Bath and North East Somerset Council through central government funding, YCSW will be partnering again with BRF, to host a Christmas provision that will offer activities and trips for young people who receive free school meals or need extra support. This programme will be hosted for three days in the Somer Valley area for young people aged 11-16 from within Bath and North East Somerset. Activities will include nutrition, arts, crafts, and youth work topics, plus a Christmas themed trip. Youth Connect South West also provides wider support for individual young people and their families, through our engagement team. If you require additional support i.e., with careers, mental/ physical health or education, then please drop us a message or call and we can arrange a referral with the team.
