The BYPP provides opportunity and support to young people in Blacon enabling them to reach their potential as positive members of their community.
We offer focused programmes with an holistic approach. These cover a broad range of activities with opportunities to gain accreditation and recognition.
Every year hundreds of young people in West Cheshire take part in one or more of our activities. We specialise in alternative education packages for some of the hardest to reach young people. These include school exclusions, young parents, young offenders and others with complex social needs.
Our services include:
Alternative Curriculum:
A full time education programme for young people, excluded from or at risk of exclusion from mainstream education. We saw an increasing number of referrals and have managed to provide a broader curriculum.
Hand in Hand:
An active group for young mums meeting 4 days a week at the Dee Point Campus for mutual support and educational programmes, including parenting skills. The group also supports teenagers by organising events such as the Teenage Pregnancy Conference at the Countess of Chester Hospital.
Vocational Programmes:
Vocational and personal development packages on full and part time basis are offered to 14 to 19 year olds in catering construction and childcare with embedded numeracy and literacy. There are opportunities to learn skills and experience work based learning within our small social enterprises.
One to one:
All young people can access counselling, acupuncture, befriending and mentoring whilst on programme.
