Helping to reduce anti-social behaviour

Unity Hub is part of a joined-up response to anti-social behaviour in Chattenden. By offering positive things to do during the after-school hours, when young people are most likely to be out and about, the sessions give them a safe alternative and a chance to build positive relationships with adults they can trust.

We're working closely with the Medway Community Safety Partnership and Kent Police. This joint working means youth workers, officers and partners share what they're hearing from the community, respond quickly to concerns, and make sure any young person who needs extra help is linked into the right support.

The sessions also give young people a voice. Their ideas and concerns help shape what we deliver, and what partners understand about life for young people in the area.

My stepson went on one of the Youth Unity Tall Ships trips and had such a wonderful time. After many years of challenges at school and in other group/team environments, his self-esteem and his belief in himself to be able to take part in - and enjoy! - group activities was really low. But he loved the sailing trip and came back full of confidence and pride at how much he had done and contributed to the sailing trip and how much he had helped and supported his fellow crew mates. It has definitely give him a boost in confidence and self-esteem which was so needed. For a young person with ADHD, something like this, which is active, exciting and learning new skills things, is the perfect way to learn and grow. Thank you Youth Unity for the opportunity and to all the staff and team who made this happen and who took care of our young ones at sea. Highly recommend to all parents!

Amazing youth organisation

Kelsi

Youth unity is an excellent organisation that gives young people lots of opportunities to grow socially emotionally and mentally. It’s a great way to gain confidence and in many cases a place to be heard and listened to!

Kim Corsinie

Youth Unity is a fantastic youth project that makes a real difference. The team creates a welcoming, supportive environment where young people can build confidence, develop new skills, and feel truly valued. The staff are passionate and dedicated, and the positive impact on the young people involved is clear. An inspiring and much-needed part of the community.
