Youth and Connexions service

The youth and connexions service supports young people between the ages of 12-21 (and up to 25 years for young people with learning difficulties and disabilities) through informal programmes of social education and personal development with emphasis on their participation and achievement.

We support young people during their transition to adulthood by encouraging their personal and social development in a secure atmosphere where they can feel valued and have fun. We also work closely with voluntary youth organisations and provide professional advice training and support.

the service is responsible for four youth centres in the borough
development of the Connexions service within the borough and provision of Connexions Personal Advisers for all young people including those experiencing multiple problems and requiring additional support to help them access education training and employment
youth provision on a number of housing estates within the borough
