Swan Youth Project is a registered charity supporting hundreds of vulnerable children and young people based in Downham Market, Norfolk, an area of significant social deprivation. We are the only local dedicated youth service.
We have been working locally for ten years and have significantly developed our services in the last two years. Our aim is to provide sustained educational, social and emotional support to circa 250 young people each year (ages 8 to 18). At the core of our service are Open access drop-in sessions for young people who need a safe space, support to fulfil their potential or where we can step in to meet basic needs.

We work to create appropriate settings that facilitate the growth and development of the children and young people from our area and beyond.

Provide unbiased and on the spot support and information for the young people whom attend the groups. 4. Provide educational activities to complement the work that young people are doing within their school curriculum 5. Provide health activities to support the health physical psychological and mental wellbeing of young people
