PROJECT
Ignition Newhaven
FUNDING
£80,000 over two years from the Henry Smith Charity
BACKGROUND
Young people's charity Youth at Risk has a five-year history of partnership with the Foyer Federation, based on the two organisations' shared goal of supporting young people to take responsibility for their lives.
This relationship led in March 2012 to the charity designing and delivering Braintree Open Talent, a personal development programme for 16- to 20-year-olds, run with the Foyer Federation and the Salvation Army Housing Association's Braintree foyer.
The success of the Braintree programme led Youth at Risk to seek out funding for a similar initiative. It had already done some work in the East Sussex town of Newhaven and went on to launch Ignition Newhaven with the Salvation Army Housing Association's Newhaven foyer.
