We have a well established history of good inclusive youth work practice and the range of services we offer has grown dramatically over the years and as a result we are now celebrating our10th year. We are set on a busy high street with good bus links and are currently based in All Saints church hall where we have access to a large hall, activity room, large kitchen and 2 offices. We are within walking distance to a number of local services, schools and facilities such as, Connexions, CAMHS, Bishop Challoner, Fox Hollies, Queensbridge schools, Kings Heath Park and many more.
All Saints Youth Project, under the management of the Development Company and the leadership of Jo Burrows and her team, have developed to become one of the foremost voluntary sector youth provisions in the South Birmingham area and have established working partnerships with local agencies and organisations.
We offer a wide range of educational and recreational activities for young people within the local community and beyond. We also offer a mentoring scheme for those needing additional support and have more recently extended our services to include a 'Parent Project' offering support, counselling, courses and much more, for teenage parents and parents of teenagers, including those with additional needs.
We work with all young people between the ages of 10 - 19yrs (up to 25yrs with additional needs) from socio-economic backgrounds, in or out of education, training or employment, those with additional needs and of any faith or of no faith at all; and of any ethnic group.
Our core provision is currently running 7 sessions per week during term time, plus holiday schemes when funding is available. We work with approximately 250 - 350 young people each year from a wide catchment area. Activities include, sports, arts and crafts, music, cooking, residentials, issue based short courses, trips out and much more!
Phase one of the building work for the Community Development Project has been completed and phase two has begun. The completion of each phase brings the opening of our new 'Young People's Centre' closer and All Saints Youth Project can move into its new building. This purpose built Centre will enable the Youth Project to provide more services for young people in the local community and beyond.
