Turning Tides
Our aim is to improve and promote the emotional resilience and wellbeing of young people living in our local communities and encourage them to thrive.
We have carried out extensive research to understand the local environment and what young people need including studies by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and Sky Blue Research.
In 2024 we launched a new programme to work with 15-21 year-olds who are struggling with their emotional wellbeing. This is being delivered by a team of specialists from local charities and young people will be able to access one to one coaching support for up to 12 months.
A big part of emotional wellbeing involves having opportunities to socialise and take part in regular activities and this programme will help to enable this by helping to build the capacity of local community organisations. The programme will work with 250 young people across a two-year pilot.
