Supporting Youth Services in Powys: Help Us Help You

Help Us Help You ….

Further to our announcement in August regarding the future of youth services in light of very difficult budgetary pressures, PAVO is about to embark on an assessment of the capability of the voluntary youth sector in relation to open access youth provision.

We are drawing up an in-depth survey to map out the provision currently on offer from the voluntary youth sector.  The survey will generally cover the:
·           extent,
·           quality,
·           sustainability
·           and safety of provision.
The information from this survey will be crucial to inform planning of resources and support for groups.  The voluntary sector may well have to meet an increased level of demand, in terms of the numbers of young people and meeting their specific, sometimes challenging, diverse needs.

In addition to the survey, we will be arranging opportunities to bring together and meet with groups in the very near future to hear more about the opportunities your group provides to young people.
This will be an exciting opportunity for voluntary youth groups across Powys to plan and shape with us the future face of youth provision.

So that we gather the right information it would be helpful if your organisation is a PAVO member and/or registered on Powys InfoEngine.
If you are affiliated to a national organisation please make sure your representatives are able to provide the information to feed through to us.  We look forward to working with all our partners to create the best possible opportunities for young people in Powys to achieve their potential.

Look out for the survey coming your way during October, share and spread the word and help us help you.
