Prospex Street Team
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 TeamThis month the contact team took some time out to visit Youthwise, a detached project in South Birmingham. We spent time with the team during the day and then went out with them in the evening on a detached session.
We were all really impressed with the project and their passion and it gave us chance to reflect on our own practice and methodology. There are not many chances to stop and evaluate your own work in this way when you are in the thick of it all, so this experience was so valuable.
We are hoping to see Youthwise visit us in the not too distant future and to develop this relationship.
One detached session had to be cancelled due to staffing in March.
