On Thursday 22nd February, ESY's interim CEO John Randall, gave a presentation on the general work of the charity and detailed how the charity is using a £4,000 grant to deliver street-based detached youth work across Lancing and Sompting.

During his presentation, John explained how through its detached work,  ESY youth workers engage with the young people in a non-judgemental manner, talk about issues that are affecting them and their community and encourage them into making positive behavioural choices. In addition, youth workers signpost and encourage young people to attend our other youth activities.

 Katy Bourne said ESY's community street-based youth outreach programme was a great example of an innovative local project that aims to make our communities safer.
