Our detached youth work is delivered by going out and reaching the young people, establishing rapport and relationships and offering them the opportunity to enjoy a support that they previously thought impossible or disconnected from, and may have previously excluded themselves from in the past.
We will contact the young people in question and begin our work. We will use detached youth work methods, which means that we will initiate contact with the groups or individuals concerned on their own space and in their time.
