SWAY

Sudbury, Wembley, Alperton Youth

SWAY is a collaboration between seven churches to work with young people of all backgrounds from within the Sudbury, Wembley and Alperton area. Our work supports young people through their adolescent development, taking each challenge as a learning experience. This includes facilitating their learning and understanding about themselves, others and society, and respecting and valuing differences. Also developing skills that supports them in achieving their future aspirations and navigating their way through life. Young people today face many challenges such as social exclusion, poverty, mental health, education, employment, violence, drugs, alcohol, sexual behaviour, media and peer pressure, the list can seem endless.

Our approach includes supporting young people in identifying what steps they need to take to achieve their future aspirations, self-awareness, identity and addressing the challenges they face that may hinder their progress. Our approach also, reduces the risk of disengagement from society, anti-social behaviour and supports improved mental health and wellbeing. Our services fit within the Contextual Safeguarding approach, supporting young people and at times their families through even the most challenging of situations
