A YOUTH project based in Hereford has received further funding.

No Wrong Door has successfully bid for a second round of funding from the West Mercia Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) to provide a single access and contact point for young people between the ages of 11 to 25.

Based in Blackfriars Street at the Robert Owen Academy, the hvoss-run project brings together a range of specialist partner agencies and provides support on topics ranging from life skills, education, stress and anxiety, and sexual health and relationships, drug and alcohol cessation, housing advice, CV writing and careers signposting.

Partner agencies and organisations from both voluntary and statutory sectors work in collaboration with the project including Addaction, CLD Youth Counselling Trust, the Courtyard, Herefordshire Council; Community Cohesion, Herefordshire Health Trust, County Training, Talent Match, Hereford Drift Trikes, National Citizenship Service, SHYPP and the local policing team.

The successful pilot project is moving into a second phase to establish the network of agencies with a transition in to mainstream service delivery.

The project is funded by the Police and Crime Commissioner, John Campion.

He said: "I am very pleased to support this project and help put young people on the right path by providing them with the guidance they need. I have made this age range a priority as I believe it is vital that they have the direction they need in order to succeed in life, ultimately preventing them from possibly being drawn into the cycle of offending."

Gareth Blackett, hvoss director of operations, said his team was 'very grateful' for the opportunity to continue the good work being done on the ground through the project.
