Recently commissioned by Islington Council for three years our Street Team work remains at the heart of what we do at Prospex.
Our Street Teams actively go out and engage with young people who are hanging about on the streets, estates and parks. They build up a relationship of trust with these young people this then enables them to gain the information they need, access positive activities, employment opportunities or help back into education either through another Prospex service or by referring to another provider.
The Street Team members are easily identified by wearing clothing clearly displaying the Prospex logo.
Find out more about Prospex Street TeamDetached work continues to be our main work-stream and is invaluable to our core values. We are working closely with the Islington Y-Bus team which is located in Bridgeman Road every Friday throughout January.
We are currently working in the Barnard Park Area, Boston/Naylor Estate, Bemerton Estate and Bingfield Estate every Monday and Friday evenings. It is very apparent that a completely new and large group of Young People are starting to appear on these estates.
No detached sessions had to be cancelled due to staffing in January.
Watch this space for some exciting developments in February…………
