blaze
This is an after-school activity that takes
specific young people on outings in the local
countryside. With a barbeque each week and
a focus on social relationships, Blaze allowed
space for fun, exploration, and an opportunity
to release energy in a positive manner! In
addition the staff team provided open and
honest lifestyle advice to help the young
people grow in confidence and enjoy improved
self-esteem which can combat social and school
exclusion. By invite only. To
be continued by the new project LA-UK
dance fusion
Similar to Dance Nation, Fusion was a dance
class for 11 to 16 year old girls which helped
them develop skills in more complicated routines
as well as encouraging them to choreograph
and teach routines themselves. In addition,
the girls also learnt what it takes to keep
healthy and active - both physically and mentally
- which helps you feel good about yourselves!
After-school for one hour a week the girls
could learn, create and perform. Fresh fruit
and drinks are provided.
glow
For girls only, this fun group provides sustained
support for referred young people throughout
school years 6 and 7. The aim of the group
is to help build confidence and self-esteem
in order to provide a smooth transition from
Junior to Secondary School. The weekly group
provided a safe place for the girls to talk
about issues concerning them, plus regular
outings helped them to develop friendships
and grow in confidence as they try new things.
Fresh fruit and drinks are provided.
mix
Similar to Glow, but open to boys too, MIX
provided sustained support for referred young
people throughout school years 6 and 7. This
inclusion project works with young people
who need support in achieving their best from
Junior to Secondary School. Through group
work, one-to-one activities and at home with
their families, the team rewarded positive
behavior, attitudes and attendance with various
trips. This piece of work is being run in
several other projects across West Sussex.
Fresh fruit and drinks are provided. To
be continued by the new project LA-UK
space (young carers)
In partnership with West Sussex Social and
Caring Services, SPACE provides regular support
and opportunities for young people who look
after a family member with an illness or a
disability. Through activities, workshops
and trips out during school holidays, the
young people receive the social opportunities
they deserve, meet new people, support each
other, enjoy a break and have some fun! Young
people can attend through referral only. Run
by Spurgeons as separate work
x-treme
Originally just the youth event during the
Festival of Wick, X-treme became a successful
brand of local youth events that occur throughout
the year. The crazy programme usually includes
messy games and unusual activities from human
bowling and foamy bouncy castles through to
rocket launching and paint wars! Open to anyone
aged 11 to 16, X-treme really is the place
to be... just don’t wear your best clothes!

Teenagers! Love them or
hate them, there's a lot of them around and
most are pretty nice once you get to know
them. To help give some stability through
those difficult years we provided a number
of activities to offer support, advice and
opportunities. |
