In the charity's own words
Our main activity is the development of a phased capital build project on our 4.5 acre Tiber site. To support this ambition we deliver youth leadership and young enterprise training and mentoring programmes that upskill local young people so that they are able to join our Tiber Young People's Steering Group, which plays a significant part in all of our decision making processes.
