Providing opportunity for the communities of South Essex
WHAT WE DO
Our projects work to provide opportunities to youth and adults in South Essex. Our projects are usually structured to bring specific benefits to either young people or adults, but most projects are structured to "involve" both age groups in projects to benefit each other.
​
The area in which we operate is central to areas of deprivation in Canvey Island, Hadleigh and Basildon which means we are accessible to people in these areas.
We aim to bring opportunities to our beneficiaries to increase confidence, reduce isolation, increase practical life skills, reduce antisocial behaviour and importantly build cross generational integration in our area.
​
Empowered Peers:
​
Helping youngsters who are less able to participate in mainstream activity groups with the help and support of peers who have been mentored and supported to understand and integrate together.
