YSS

YSS enables people who face significant life challenges to feel safe, have the opportunity to thrive and to realise their potential, and we have been doing so for more than thirty years. There are thousands of people in our communities who struggle with life and face what seem to be insurmountable barriers - they are why we exist. We provide a wide variety of mainly community focused support for people and are often described as the glue between those at risk of social isolation and the wider mainstream society. We run a diverse range of services working with all ages but our aim is always the same to help people to break through barriers (real or perceived) and to achieve their potential. Our work is rooted in the local communities we serve. We have a strong local presence and a national profile for our innovative work. We strive to punch above our weight to ensure our voice, and the voice of our service users, is heard and to influence and inform service design and policy. ...
