Lancashire Youth Challenge nurtures, supports, and challenges young people living in North Lancashire and Preston to overcome barriers and obstacles to achieve personal success. At the heart of our ethos is the belief that everybody can achieve personal success and gain new skills when given an equitable opportunity, meaningful encouragement, and access to high-quality provision. The young people we work with are dealing with significant personal challenges, whether these relate to managing their mental health, coping with trauma, family breakdown, youth offending, housing poverty, and/or family pressures. Our programme of regular physical fitness training, mindfulness & wellbeing activities, creative workshops, peer mentor training, and outdoor activities & expeditions ensures that every one of our participants can gain new skills, build confidence, and achieve their own goals. These are key to building resilience and enable young people to feel optimistic and capable of entering training, further education, and employment to craft the lives they wish to lead.
