Activities & Mission

We've worked with a number of young people from Slough, most of these young people were mainly hanging around parks engaging in negative behaviour and criminal activity. In our projects we have worked in partnership with various agencies such as Thames Valley Police, Community safety, Slough Borough Council and The Youth Offending Team to ensure we target the hard to reach young people.
