The main focus of our work in the Solihull borough is supporting young people in Chelmsley Wood.

Through our team based at Chelmsley Wood Baptist Church we provide detached work, holiday activities, WWLI programme, schools and college work.

We also run a Thrive Youthwork course currently at Level 2 with 16 people due to graduate from this is summer 2009 and Level 3 commencing in September 2010..

We have also run projects with young people who are disaffected in partnership with statutory agencies.

The NEET project has offered opportunities to young people aged 16-19 who are not in education employment or training. The young people involved have been encouraged to try different experiences both indoor to outdoor activities including Kayaking, working with a local artist and a local film director. Over the past 6 months I have witnessed these young people become engaged as a group. Their social and listening skills have greatly improved.

The NEET project has also helped motivate the young people to make a change to their own futures. Three of the young people have subsequently enrolled on college courses and one will shortly begin training with the army. The NEET project has been a good experience for all.
