In an attempt to reach out to young people who don’t usually engage with youth service I would like to introduce a mobile youth unit. Rather than young people going to a youth centre or club this unit would come to them. It would take the form of a trolley/ cart and onboard would be information and resources; sexual health information, drug and alcohol misuse advice and a condom dispensary. In addition to this there would also be an internet connection and laptop as well as refreshment facilities. This would be staffed by a trained youth worker and potentially a young person (who would be accredited for this work) who would take it to places young people are known to frequent.
