| Thousands
of young people have lost hope. Growing up in the most deprived
areas in the country, they see no future for themselves. Many hide
low self-esteem with aggression, drugs, alcohol or involvement in
crime. All too often this is all that society expects of them.
At Fairbridge we believe that every young person has something of
value inside them. Our challenge is to help them find it. We offer
young people a fresh start, someone to believe in them and a chance
to prove themselves. We combine long-term personal support with
practical learning experiences to tackle ingrained behaviour and
attitudes and enable young people to develop personal, social and
life skills.
Every programme is tailored to personal needs and lasts for as long
as an individual needs support; be that three weeks or three years.
Our goal is simple: to build self-belief and motivation in the most
challenging young people, offering them the foundations for a life
of choice and opportunity.
