"Extern works directly with children, adults and communities in Northern Ireland who are affected by social exclusion. Over 60 per cent of our activity is with children.
Our latest project, Inside Out, is an intensive bail support programme, commissioned by the Youth Justice Agency for young people aged 10 to 17 years who would otherwise have been remanded in custody.
