Youth Support
Bridgend Youth Support work with young people aged 11 to 25 years old to develop them personally, socially and educationally through a variety of opportunities. We do this in communities through participatory experiences and offer information, support and guidance to enable young people to reach their unique full potential.
We work with young people in a variety of settings offering both universal and, for those identified as vulnerable, targeted support.
Our youth workers are a nationally qualified and registered workforce.
Children’s rights and the UNCRC is embedded in all the work we do, with regular consultations, and engagement exercises, occurring ensuring young people’s voices are at the centre of our decision making.
Our engagement with young people takes place in youth centres, youth clubs, street based, schools, and local communities.
We also engage in digital spaces, including our online ‘chatbot’ and you can follow our various social media channels (@bcbcys) to find out more.
