Why they need our service

Some Manchester children are 'hard-to-reach facing poverty, deprivation and boredom. Exclusion from activities and opportunities for safe, positive community engagement and role models results in behavioural difficulties, a risk of being involved in or affected by substance misuse, crime (including hate crime) and anti-social behaviour, turning to disorder within the community. Children face various inter-related effects of disadvantage, some are not attending school and/or are in PRU.

Plan and expected results

Overall most children make significant steps forward, acquiring skills, confidence, capability in teamwork and social interaction, aspiration for further and higher education and travel and repositioning themselves within the job market. 421 children have raised aspirations (77% of these experienced significant improvements). 396 have improved behaviour in group settings (76% experienced significant improvements). 396 have improved self-esteem (76% experience significant improvements).
