Bridgwater Detached Youth Work Team works with young people between 15 and 20 years old, in four areas of the town.
We are a team of five workers, with myself, Sarah Scott as the Project Manager, Mandi, Craig, Rob and Joanne each work between six and nine hours a week.
The Detached Team works on two large housing
estates (Hamp and Sydenham), the Chilton Area and Bridgwater Town Centre.
We prioritise work with young people who are"at risk"- "risk" being associated with lifestyles.
The Detached Team use a variety of methods such as group work, one to one contact etc.
The Team have been working together for a year as of October 1997, in which time we have achieved a great deal with 400 young people, having impact on their lives and enabling change.
