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 TeamDetached continues to be at the heart of everything we do at Prospex and is the core link to all our other work streams. It is the first point of contact that most young people have with Prospex. Over the coming months, and especially over the summer break, Prospex wants to increase the amount of sessions it provides.
Closer links and a more joined up way of thinking with the Islington Y-bus and other local youth organisations should allow us to provide a wider coverage and a stronger presence within the community.
We are also actively recruiting more volunteers to boost our numbers for detached work. As always funding is crucial to allow us to build this work stream and to provide much needed detached work in the local community.
Three detached sessions had to be cancelled in April & May due to lack of staff. One three hour session with 2 workers costs £90. Can you help with funding or voluntary time?
