Description:
INSPIRING YOUNG PEOPLE TO TRANSFORM THEIR LIVES AND COMMUNITIES AT HOME, IN SCHOOL AND ON THE STREETS.
e:merge is a young people's charity that has delivered youth work for over 25 years in the most segregated, deprived and broken wards of Bradford. Our goal is to reach the most marginalised and enable them to become a part of a community within which they can thrive, develop and reach their potential. We are motivated by our Christian faith and values to inspire, empower and build resilience in young people of all faiths or none.
We have developed our own brand of youth work that meets young people at their point of need and provides wrap-around care to address all aspects of their life for the long-term.
We deliver our work in wards ranked within the top 10% most severely deprived living environments in the country. These are often dangerously segregated and afflicted with crime, unemployment, low academic achievement and poverty of aspiration.
Within this environment young people face overwhelming challenges. Obesity, smoking, alcohol and drug abuse are commonplace, teenage conceptions high, antisocial behaviour the norm, and a tragic lack of hope, self-esteem and sense of purpose.
We work within the following areas:
- Education/Employability
- Community
- Sport
- Faith
