Welcome

It's for pre formed groups of 13 - 19 year olds attached to local community groups and who may be disaffected, low achievers, truanting or are unemployed.

Most live in Bristol but we also accept referrals from groups based in surrounding areas such as the Unitary Authorities in BANES, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset. Many of the young people are either at risk, or have been convicted of, commiting crime.

The young people's preferred style of learning will be practical, hands on and the majority of our programme delivery is based in our motor vehicle workshop.

Almost all of these learners may also be experiencing many social problems and our activities are aimed at developing their social and life skills.

Similarly, many of the learners possess limited basic skills in reading, writing and arithmetic and our programmmes enable many of these skills to be learnt through embedded activities in our workshop.

Vehicles for our groups to work on. If you have any going free, please get in touch with our Workshop Manager.
