About this cause

‘Our aim is to tackle root causes of poverty to those living within the North West locality of Plymouth that consists of; poor housing/homelessness, poor health, low employment and training opportunities. We deliver measures to tackle causes of crime, risk taking behaviour alongside raising aspirations and ambitions of those we work with through anti- social behaviour project work, mother and baby projects and providing a drop- in consisting of emotional support and one- one work. We have worked with lone parents, low income families alongside young people, many of whom are young carers. We seek to improve life conditions for those who face struggles due to their circumstances and provide programmes and activities that are relevant to the needs.

How this cause brings people in the community together

This project will help us to deliver further outreach work to young people who are socially isolated and miss out on opportunities due to family breakdowns, care placements or young carers. This allows for breaks from responsibilities alongside time to receive support emotionally and for behaviour.They can invest time in community projects, gardening projects and reengage with their community.
