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 have just won the tender to deliver detached work across the borough for the next three years from Islington Council. This means we will be able to employ six regular workers who will work Tuesdays and Friday nights in three teams across the borough which will include partnership work with other providers. This will start in April in our existing area and rapidly expand in the coming months. In the third year it also includes alternate weekends. We are really excited about this as a team as detached work has always been at the heart of Prospex. Watch this space for more news soon.
