About the service

We work with young people on environmental projects so that they can take over run down spaces to improve their community. The work requires a broad range of skill, which will be new to many young people. That’s why we help to give them the knowledge and guidance they will need to turn run down places into fabulous green spaces.

What will I get out of it?

The young people learn to respect their community by putting them at the forefront of planning and developing regeneration projects in their area. The initiatives also help to break down barriers between generations and cultures and are very successful in improving the chances for young people to be the best they can be.
