Kirk Hallam Detached Youth Session

Supporting Communities delivers detached youth work sessions across Kirk Hallam, engaging with young people in the places where they choose to spend their time. Funded through the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS)and The National Lottery Community Fund's Million Hours Fund – Round 3, the project provides additional youth work opportunities in areas experiencing higher levels of anti-social behaviour.

Our experienced youth workers build positive relationships with young people aged 8–17, offering informal support, guidance, and access to positive activities within their local community. Sessions focus on improving wellbeing, developing life skills, increasing confidence, and creating trusted relationships with adults, while helping young people feel safer and more connected to their community.

Through regular outreach, detached youth work enables us to engage young people who may not access traditional youth provision, providing early intervention, signposting, and opportunities to take part in wider youth programmes and support services delivered by Supporting Communities.
