BREAD Youth Project works with young people aged 11-25 to build up their skills and confidence through informal and social education, so they can fulfil their potential. Services and projects are closely tailored to meet the specific needs of Bristol's young people.
Streetwise Community Law Centre is a young adults’ law centre, providing advice and casework for 16-24s on a range of legal issues, including: homelessness applications; possession hearings; access to welfare benefits; and obtaining support from social and mental health services.
Young Carers Transition Service offers specific support to older young carers, aged 16-25. The service provides age-specific support that takes young adults beyond the Young Carers service, to focus on the other big issues in their lives, such as employment, education, housing, and emotional and physical wellbeing (addressing isolation and social problems).
