Start360 support people through an extensive range of skill-based programmes and services. Start360 has continually developed its services to meet the changing needs of people in Northern Ireland. By holding true to our core vision, we continue to provide a range of innovative services focused on making a positive impact on their lives. The organisation has grown to be the one of the biggest youth organisations in Northern Ireland, working with almost 20,000 young people, vulnerable adults and their families in each year. We offer a diverse range of interventions from family support, counselling, mentoring, and advocacy through to group work and intensive residential experiences. In terms of the work our services provide this extends to supporting, encouraging and facilitating young people and vulnerable adults to overcome their difficulties in terms of mental health, substance use, offending behaviour and other risk-taking activities. This work occurs in a variety of settings including the juvenile justice centre, the young offender’s centre, the prisons, residential care, youth clubs, schools, the home and the community. Start360 services are built on evidence-based practice. With support from our partners we believe we can develop new innovative ways of establishing and maintaining services that are available to address the complex and diverse needs of marginalised young people and vulnerable adults in Northern Ireland.
