| Purpose | Our aim is to raise the aspirations and release the potential of young people through delivering on the following outcomes: 1. Young people will have the opportunity to try new activities, explore their aspirations, develop self-confidence/esteem and gain new practical and social skills. 2. Young people will become more positively recognised and involved in their communities through volunteering and social action projects. 3. Young people will develop new skills and self-awareness through participation in creative and performing arts opportunities. 4. Young people will be more aware of the risks of drug and alcohol misuse and will be enabled to make informed and positive choices about their health through participation in healthy lifestyle activities. 5. Young people will have better awareness of and access to the range of information, advice and guidance support that is available. 6. Young people will gain new skills, accreditation and work-based experience through participation in volunteering and management roles. |
