Subject: Youth Provision Booklet
As part of my role with the East Suffolk Rural Youth Project, I have produced a booklet for young people aged 10-25 living in East Suffolk, providing them with details of the support that is available to them within their local community, within Suffolk and online.
The booklet ["Youth Provision in East Suffolk"] was created in response to data gathered by the project from young people in East Suffolk, which showed that many young people do not know what clubs, activities and support are available to them, or where to go if they have a specific problem.
The booklet includes sections specific to each of the community partnership areas [including Aldeburgh, Leiston, Saxmundham and surrounding villages], and wider support on topics such as:
Mental health
Physical health
Education support
Minority ethnic groups
Careers, employment and volunteering
East Suffolk Youth Council
Youthwatch
Bullying
Involvement in crime or gangs
Experiencing homelessness/at risk of homelessness
Affected by drugs/alcohol (including addiction within their family)
Those in the care system
LGBTQ+
Neurodiversity
Young carers
Grief support
Advocacy and legal representation
Healthy relationships
The booklet can be viewed online by scanning the QR code [or following the link, both below.] The aim is to reach as many young people as possible!
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask!
Kind regards,
