Recipient Org: Description Canvey Island Youth Project (Yellow Door) works with young people between the ages of 11 and 25 in our community, especially those who are disadvantaged because of often-interrelated issues such as poverty, homelessness, addiction, learning difficulties, behavioural problems, family issues and mental health problems. We aim to help them by offering a range of services and activities, which focus on young people’s health and wellbeing. The services include one to one advice, information, support and counselling including practical support such as food parcels and group activities including a performing arts group, youth café and youth group, sports coaching, outreach and educational workshops. Within these services, we offer specialist support for drugs and alcohol, benefits and homelessness. Our aim is to enable the young people who use our service to develop the knowledge, life skills and confidence needed to make informed choices and to manage their sometimes very challenging life circumstances. In 2018-2019 we worked with over 1900 young people.
