Early Years

Early Years is a group-based programme for young people aged between 8 to 12 who are experiencing difficulties within home, school and community.

The ethos of the Early Years Programmes is to enable each young person involved with the groups to become empowered to make informed choices, which will positively influence both their present life situation and their future.

For this purpose, the Early Years Programmes encourage the young people to work in conjunction with the group leaders to devise a programme that meets their individual needs in a group environment.
