Children and Young People

Braintree Youth Project Charity

Braintree Youth Project Charity provides activities and a safe environment for young people aged 11-18, and up to 25 for people that have additional needs, where they can have fun and be supported.

Through their drop-in and focused group sessions, the charity provides a full range of activities, events and training that encourage young people to become more confident and build new friendships. Some of their activities include board and computer games, sports, cooking workshops, mountain climbing, abseiling, canoeing or river trekking. They also run awareness sessions on topics such as the dangers of drugs and alcohol.  

Our funding has supported the salary of their youth worker, who continues to arrange their programme of activities that will help the young people to better integrate into society and build a positive future for themselves.
