This project was actually devised by a steering group of young people who felt that existing sources of help were a) off-putting to young people because they were unwelcoming and unfriendly and b) because it was difficult to access services scattered across a wide geographical area that were only open very restricted hours. 'Outside In' would address this by providing a central location where young people could go to receive a range of services under one roof. The informal environment would make young people more likely to attend and engage with services. The project's goals would be to increase the numbers of young people with problems who accessed advice and support earlier, thus reducing harm. It would also increase the overall number of vulnerable young people accessing services including those who currently do not feel able to ask for help. The costing below assumes the project would be open 7 days a week from 11.00am to 10.00pm. Refurbishment / repairs would reduce to £10,000 from Year 2 onwards.
