About The Role Our Youth Bus is a mobile youth provision, it is an additional service provided by the Youth Development Service which enhances the current youth offer provided through the existing five youth centres and detached youth work. It enables the Outreach & Detached youth team to reach out to more young people through deploying the bus to areas of needs and areas where there is limited youth provision. We recognise that not all young people may choose to come to one of our five youth centres and therefore it is important to bring youth provision to young people in their local communities. The Youth Bus is equipped with state-of-the-art technology such as digital music, access to iPad / tablets, game consoles and free WIFI. Through the mobile youth provision young people have access to information, advice and guidance, free activities, advocacy, and early help support on their doorstep. The mobile youth provision also has the capacity to deliver bespoke workshops, harm reduction campaigns and activities such as, sexual health clinics, substance misuse support and support in finding employment.
