Parents

We know that being a parent is hard 24/7 work, and that all parents try their best to give their children a happy and stable childhood.

However no one gives parents an instruction manual, so we are here to support parents in this vital role, by empowering parent programmes, that enable them to build on their strengths and celebrate their achievements.

Our projects

We deliver a wide range of projects, and are always looking for more and different ways to help and support young, local people.

We work to support local children and young people, through engaging with them in youth work activities in groups, in the community, and as individuals.

Our focussed youth work has previously included drug and alcohol awareness, work to address knife crime, keeping safe, healthy relationships, and engaging conversations on health and well-being. We work closely with local agencies and relevant organisations, to help us identify where the next area of focus may be needed.

VOLUNTEER

We are always looking for volunteers to help us support the young people of Ipswich. Whther it's helping us to deliver a particular poject, regular help with our activities or a special skill you can offer, we'd love to hear from you
