Providing positive activities and developmental opportunities for young people in South West Wilts

Seeds4Success is a youth work charity based in Mere, which provides opportunities for personal and social development for young people living in South West Wiltshire. We enable young people to access programmes that develop practical skills, enhance education, improve employability, provide recreational activities, conserve the natural environment and strengthen the local community.

Our Mission states “Through inclusive engagement of young people in social action and a range of positive activities, our aim is to develop confident, healthy, skilful, valued and empowered members of our local community, providing targeted support to those facing additional barriers”

We offer a wide range of positive leisure time opportunities for young people throughout the week as well as targeted, 1 to 1 support to individuals who are at risk of becoming or who already are Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET). Through engagement in our projects young people develop social and practical skills, form positive friendships and relationships with trusted adults and their peers, gain confidence, self-esteem and achieve qualifications and awards. Our projects include practical conservation work and reward opportunities through our Leisure Credits Scheme, programmes targeted at young people with SEND to enhance their social and physical development, a leadership programme to develop the young person’s committee for the charity and to grow peer leaders to support our youth work offer to younger members, activities to promote health and wellbeing, specific projects to develop young people’s skills, 1:1, small groupwork sessions and mentoring that support young people who are Not in Education, Employment or Training as well as open access youth work opportunities.

As a rural charity we understand the challenges of transport, so we provide a minibus or support with travel to the majority of our projects.

The relationship between Seeds4Success and the communities around South West Wiltshire is a real strength, local town and parish councils support our work and we enable young people make a positive contribution to their communities.
