Recipient Org: Description Watchet Youth Club's aims and objectives include: 1/ To provide professional support, guidance and advice for young people in the Watchet and Williton area. Professionally qualified workers work with often vulnerable young people to develop key relationships to provide trust and continuity. The work often requires key guidance, communication and information to ensure young people have a clear understanding of what could happen, and work on strategies to ensure safety and positive outcomes. 2/. Provide a secure, consistent and welcoming base. To offer young people a safe, secure and reliable place to go, providing them with a sense of belonging and ownership. Work with young people to help guide, support and enable them to overcome issues, frustrations and concerns they continually face living in our area. 3/ To work as a link worker working with and on behalf of young people to create successful outcomes with their families, peers, schools and external agencies. Young people are often more comfortable to communicate in a relaxed environment with someone they trust. It is a professional youth workers responsibility to work with a young person and key agencies to aid positive outcomes. This could include attending TAC or TAF meetings with social care if required. 4/ To provide positive activities and new opportunities for young people in a deprived area. To build upon a culture of inclusion. We aim to provide a diversity of young people with new opportunities and activities in our area, overcoming West Somerset's rural barriers of isolation, fragile transportation system and limited services. 5. To increase young people’s aspirations. To build upon young peoples communication skills, self confidence and aspirations as they develop whilst living in our area. To help influence an extended social network from which young people can meet new peers, engage in new experiences and gain a determination to want to achieve in the future. 6. To work in collaboration with other services across the area. Workers will work with other organisations to embrace solutions for our young people and local communities. .
