We are pleased to have secured funding to implement on foot outreach to provide a presence within the local community. This initiative is designed not only to engage with young people directly, but also to help deter anti-social behaviour. Additionally, it provides an opportunity for the public to observe our work and offer feedback on what other services or activities they would like to see.
We aim to be out in the community several times a week, typically in the afternoons or evenings, and often focus on prominent green spaces.
Our goal is to create a welcoming environment where young people can connect with us, access support, and find a safe space to relax. We offer a range of activities, a place to unwind, and frequently provide snacks to make their experience more enjoyable.
During the past twelve months I have visited and engaged with Clare at SYEP regularly. The projects, the outreach, and various opportunities that SYEP provides are well documented and known to all but what always amazes and pleases me is the air of calm around all of these gatherings. I often rock up unannounced at SYEP, with my aged dog, and always find an atmosphere of calm and safety, this is reflected in the behaviour of the young people and their engagement with random visitors. Clare and her team provide an amazing service and the community of Sprowston is privileged to have such a provision.
