The Swan Youth Project Berkhamsted Information

To provide a happy, safe, supportive and engaging place for young people in our town. Our programmes enable our young people to thrive by encouraging them to improve mental and physical wellbeing, form supportive peer relationships and learn new skills, thereby building their self-esteem and resilience. Our Values Our values of Sustainability, Empowerment and Respect underpin all that we do. These values are born out of how our members tell us they feel. Sustainability We will continue to add value to our community now and in the future. We collaborate with other groups to share resources, skills and best practice, building a stronger “fit for future” community. Empowerment We put the needs of our young people at the heart of everything we do, remaining relevant and engaged. We are relevant to our members, making sure their voices are heard and they take a leading role in the design of our activities. We understand the individual needs of our young people, being aware of their family circumstances and working collaboratively to identify steps needed to help them thrive. Respect We are respectful and operate with integrity. We build open, transparent and respectful relationships, promoting inclusivity and trust. We encourage supportive conversation and sharing of ideas to nurture growth and understanding of differing perspectives.
