Based out of Four Dwellings High School we seek to support the young people of Quinton through working with the local schools, providing after school provision and working with the local churches.

MENTORING
By meeting up regularly with pupils from the high school we aim to support them whatever their needs. By meeting individually or in pairs for short or long periods of time, we support the students in raising their self worth and aspirations as well as providing someone they feel they can talk to.

THERE4U
A confidential drop-in service at the high school where pupils can speak to a youth worker, general health nurse or a contraception and sexual health nurse

ASSEMBLIES
Offered to a number of schools on request.

PARTNERSHIP
QYFC works in partnership with the local schools, city council, youth service, extended schools, neighbourhood police team, local churches, national Youth for Christ, other youth provision providers and more. By attending various meetings each month where these different partners come together, QYFC seeks to work in collaboration with these different agencies.

FOOTBALL LEAGUE
We now a football league for year 8-11 pupils at Four Dwellings Sports Hall every Wednesday 6-7pm. The league gives the young people the opportunity to compete in self picked teams and work to win prizes.

MORE TO COME
We are still exploring how to expand the impact of the work being done. As well as looking to support more schools and churches, we’re looking to provide extra provision. We are currently exploring the creation of a football league in Quinton where young people can create their own teams and play against other young people in the area. We are also exploring with the High School how those from a faith background can be supported as well.

OVERLAP
With a lot of the work we do, we see a number of young people in different contexts. This allows us to build positive relationships with the young people and support them in various ways. It also means that they can share the work with their friends so they can be supported too.
