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 TeamWe are starting to get out regularly on Mondays and Fridays now and are also about to start some partnership work with the Y-Team, who are a council run project that has a mobile unit.
It is encouraging to be working with the Y-Team and really positive for the young people to see us working together. We will tell you how it is going in our next newsletter.
