Works+ is an extended team effort.
This film highlights the army of partners, supporters, fixers and enablers that ensure our young people access the right services and opportunities.
What is Works+ and how does it help?
Follow participants of our first project to find how they all progressed to a positive destination within 10 weeks.
Works+ offers a range of interventions and, for some, that means 1:1 sessions rather than group work.
With support, it's possible to access the help you need and turn those difficult days around.
Overcoming isolation is the theme of this beautiful, moving film.
