Providing Outstanding Youth Work Services in Somerset
Young Somerset is the largest youth and community support charity in Somerset, providing a range of bespoke services for young people and their families to suit the needs of the communities we operate in.
Founded in 1997 as Somerset Rural Youth Project, we moved away from open access, universal services during the pandemic (2020), and now provide targeted support for young people which includes:
- Alternative education provision, for those struggling with mainstream education – focused on “learning by doing” with accredited outcomes
- Mental health provision as the largest NHS commissioned provider of low intensity cognitive behaviour therapy for young people in the Southwest in community & education settings
- An Enterprise offer, which includes a café and shop, where young people can engage in supported internships or work-based learning opportunities for their development
- Youth workers operating within health care and the community in support of statutory partners
