Inspiring Young People
Whether it be a disruptive home life, caring for a family member or coping with a mental health issue. Young people turn to us for help and we offer them practical ways to find confidence and develop the skills they need to get on track and to move into a job, education or training.
Youth Work
A youth work approach is at the heart of everything we do. By building relationships with young people and understanding their individual needs we can begin to empower them to change their futures.
Young Person’s voice
Young people are at the heart of our work. We believe they are not just the recipients of our services, but essential partners in shaping and influencing them. By actively listening to their voices and involving them in decision-making, we ensure that our programs and support truly reflect their needs, aspirations, and experiences
Safeguarding
YG works in partnership with county council led provisions and follows guidance set by the Gloucestershire Children’s Safeguarding Board to ensure the welfare of all young people we work with.
Adverse Childhood Experiences
YG believes in working holistically to address all influencing factors in a young person’s life. This includes embracing the wider needs of the family and respecting the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE’s).
Partnerships
Young Gloucestershire works together with other local services to broaden the support we have available. We have partnerships with other local charities, as well as national providers and the NHS.
Family Support
Young Gloucestershire works with the whole family to ensure our support reaches all those in need and develops lasting support networks.
Equity, Diversity & Inclusion at the Heart of Our Work
Equity, diversity, and inclusion (ED&I) are central to everything we do. Our dedicated team of ED&I champions works collaboratively to ensure that our charity is inclusive in every aspect of our practice. We are continually evolving and diversifying our services to meet the wide-ranging needs of young people, making sure every young person feels seen, heard, and supported.
The Whole of You
We know there isn’t always one clear goal, or one clear challenge. We will work with you to look at the whole of you and consider lots of different approaches to helping you take steps towards a brighter future.
Evidence based practice
We provide services that are grounded in proven research and best practices. By continuously evaluating our impact, we make sure our programs grow stronger and more effective, so young people always get the support that works best.
