Welcome to Aspiring
Young Women
It is our goal to create a comfortable, safe environment, where young women can talk and express their views to achieve their goals together.
We do this by carrying out a series of workshops and 1-1 sessions outside of the group sessions.
AYW signpost young women to other certified agencies if further work may be required. Those involved with the young people will be notified as appropriate, and if there are any disclosures whereby a young person themselves or others may be at risk the young women will be informed that a relevant party would need to be notified.
AYW aim to support young people to build confidence, and resilience with a targeted and planned end goal. The programme will give young women a platform to talk and express their views freely in an open space.
