YOUTH WORK

You and your youth worker will work together, to build a relationship and get to know one another. Your youth worker will give you the chance to talk face-to-face, listen to what’s important to you, and do the things you like to do.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT

Help can be available to support your plan and help you achieve your goals. Your youth worker will work with you, to ensure your goals are sustainable long-term. 

PERSONAL PLAN

You and your youth worker will work together to make a plan around what you need help with, and what you want to change in your life. Your plan can be made any way you want e.g. with drawings, or voice recordings.
