Youth on Solid Ground is a non for profit voluntary organisation that has been working with young people in the Manchester inner city areas for several years, but formalised this service in March 2009.

Our aim is to help support the community, especially young people to participate in activities to develop integration, community cohesion and social inclusion. We support the young people’s social development through social, sports, recreational and educational activities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals.

Staff  have vast knowledge of the complexities of the community and provide cultural and religious consultation/awareness regarding family and community issues around anti-social behaviour (ASB), gang culture, domestic violence, force marriage, mental health, honour based violence and family dynamics.

We support the social development and interaction of young people in the local community by developing their citizenship skills to help improve their quality of life e.g: increasing their knowledge and awareness regarding their rights, responsibilities and expectations.

All youth and community workers and volunteers are CRB checked to enhanced level.
