Partnerships
One of the main objectives of The gap* is to work alongside other agencies and organisations who engage with young people. Our office is located in Our Place Community Hub in Sutton Coldfield town centre, which allows us access to a number of charities and organisations that are also located at the Hub. In addition we work closely with the local Police and currently have a dedicated officer who makes regular visits to the Venue drop-in.
​
Some of the young people we work with have assisted in social action projects involving decorating a local charity’s offices, painting walls at the Community Hub, litter picking projects led by the Police and international social action project in Romania.
​
We work with the YMCA in both Sutton Town and Erdington where we have referred young people that we have been supporting. We also have a history of working with Clifton Road Youth Centre on various creative and sports-based projects.
​
In the past we have partnered with Our Place Community Hub in setting up a drug/drink awareness and activity day at a local outward bound centre. This involved positive contributions from Aquarius, the Police, an offender from HMP Hewell and a former drug addict.
​
We are currently partnering with a number of local secondary schools via the Headspace project.
