Base 87

Base 87 was created with help from the Coalfields Regeneration Trust and the Robbie Williams ‘Give it Sum’ fund to provide a local training and support base with and for young people. Project activities are geared towards the individual, wide ranging needs of young people. For example; Life skills development, communication skills, access to services and confidence building.

We aim to fully involve young people in determining the development and sustainability of the project. This will include training in management and budgeting skills, fundraising and negotiation with potential service providers. For many young people, Base 87 will provide the essential step between leaving school and embarking on independent living.
