In the charity's own words
The charity helps young people, especially but not exclusively throughout their leisure time activities, so as to develop their physical, mental and spiritual capacities that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society. This is done through group work, individual work and project work as youth workers use the priniples of informal education.
