Atf Southend

We are a charity that supports young people who are at risk of exclusion or becoming part of the criminal justice system. We engage with young people through leisure, sports, art, heritage and cultural activities. We use a community asset based approach to support not only the young person and their family but also to build resilience within the wider community at the same time.
