Our impact
Young Gloucestershire
Young Gloucestershire is a youth work organisation supporting young people across Gloucestershire, particularly those facing mental health challenges or other forms of disadvantage.
What it does
Young Gloucestershire provides a mix of youth work and mental health support, helping young people with emotional wellbeing alongside practical challenges in their lives. Its Flex programme combines counselling with youth work, offering more joined up support than either approach alone.
What we fund
Our funding through our What’s Working programme supports Young Gloucestershire to evaluate its Flex programme. The project compares outcomes from combined counselling and youth work with counselling only support, to understand whether more integrated approaches lead to better outcomes for young people. The learning is intended to inform Young Gloucestershire’s own practice and contribute evidence that is useful to other youth and mental health services.
