Detached – West Smethwick Area

Covering West Park Road, St Paul’s, Rood End High Street and West Cross Shopping Centre.

Detached Youth Work is a model of youth work practice, targeted at vulnerable & excluded young people who mainstream youth work and services may not reach. It takes place on young people’s own territory such as streets, cafés, parks, outside shops etc. – at times that are appropriate to them and on their terms.  It begins from where young people are in terms of their values, attitudes, issues and ambitions and is concerned with their personal and social development.
