Our Team

Our experienced team is passionate about supporting children and young people.

Our ethos, ‘You are valued, You are Welcome, You Belong’ is the heartbeat of our organisation and guides all our interactions.

Thornbury Skate Park

Thornbury Skate Park has always been close to our hearts as a valued local space where young people choose to spend their time.

In 2019, we installed The Pod right next to the skate park, and it has since become our home base and the hub for most of our youth provision.

Testimonials

T has really enjoyed attending youth club. He looked forward to it every week and couldn’t wait to tell me what he did. His confidence has improved immensely. Thank you.

Parent
Youth Clubs

I enjoy going to youth club as the youth workers are always up for a chat and I know they’re people I can trust.

Young Person
Youth Clubs

My favourite thing to do at youth club is have time to hang out with my friends, play football and have loads of fun.

Mentoring has helped me to keep calm and gain more courage to not be so shy. It’s helped me build up confidence.

Mentee
Mentoring

Thank you so much for all the work you are both doing, the children have shown such an improvement in the last few weeks since having mentoring.

Teacher
Mentoring

Thank you for the work you are doing in our school, it is invaluable, and the young people are really benefitting from all the work you are doing with them.

Teacher
Mentoring

Thank you so much for putting on these activities through the school holidays. My kids love attending and always say how much they have done in just a few hours. It’s great for them to be outside playing with other children and building on their social skills instead of being in front of a screen. The food also looked delicious, and although my kids never usually eat that much salad, they dove straight into the salad bar you provided. Thank you for such a great provision that I can afford!

Parent
School Holiday Activities

I have learnt what respect really is and how to keep my own personal boundaries.

Participant
Real Respect

Thank you ever so much for the course. I really have learnt a lot, and because I’ve done the course I put it on Facebook and I’ve had three new families ask me to babysit which is now a regular thing! Thank you again for the experience!

Participant
Babysitting Skills Course

This course was a great experience and has definitely made me more confident. I have gained some vital life skills.

Participant
Babysitting Skills Course

Just a quick email to say thank you so much for running this great course. Lauren really enjoyed the day and found it very interesting. Lauren has been working as a babysitter for a while, but I think this course is helping her have confidence in herself and what she has been doing.

Parent
Babysitting Skills Course

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for putting on such a brilliant two day babysitting course! Sarah learnt so much and it has hopefully given her a lot of confidence to look after other people’s children. She also said that the staff were all so lovely and very helpful.
