• ⁠Supporting research relating to social justice and equality.

• Additionally we are committed to fair pay for our facilitation team that is at least 10% above living wage age, and we work hard to work with people less likely to be employed including Neurodivergent people and family carers.

• We support families who have a child(ren) who experience school placement breakdown. Offering free advocacy support to families and collaboration with schools to support suitable environments for all young people to thrive.

• Work voluntarily with My Lovely Horse Rescue to design youth programs that support marginalised young people using animal interactions for therapeutic benefit.

• We have established a Volunteer Youth Advocacy inaction Team (VYAAT) and a Volunteer Youth Participation Panel (VYPP) to support young people aged 13-30 who want to engage in active citizenship via projects and activities that drive positive action.
