Young People Leaving Care

Based in Antrim, this is a befriending service specifically targeted at young people leaving the care system, who may have associated emotional/mental health support needs.

After an initial interview and training volunteers are matched with a young person. The focus is very much on social activities as this builds up confidence and raises self-esteem. It also means the time spent with the young person, whilst being supportive, is fun and enjoyed by both.
