| Name of Organisation: | Fairbridge Solent |
| Headline: | Fairbridge works with young people aged 13-25 that other organisations find difficult to engage – giving them the motivation, self-confidence and skills they need to change their lives. |
| What We Do: | Inside every disadvantaged young person, there is a confident, positive, individual trying to break out. Last year, Fairbridge helped more than 3,500 take their first step. Most were classed as having ‘multiple needs’, such as homelessness, substance misuse or a history of offending.
Yet over the last 12 months, 85% went on to achieve something tangible. They returned to the classroom, started a college course, got a qualification, found a job or chose to remain in the Fairbridge programme to continue their development. For these young people, Fairbridge was a new start – a chance to show the world who they really are. Fairbridge worked. Fairbridge centres are based in 15 of the most disadvantaged areas of the UK. Each year hundreds of young people choose to engage with us. For many it is their first step back into education, training or work. |
