Meeting young people where they’re at

Street Reach is a charity working with young people in Winchester and the surrounding areas. Established in 1983, our work is open to all young people and is particularly targeted towards those experiencing disadvantage.

We have recently joined Youth Options, who run street and centre-based youth sessions across Southampton, Eastleigh, and the New Forest, where they aim to reduce the number of young people experiencing negative outcomes and provide support for young people. By combining resources, expertise, and networks with Youth Options, we can amplify our impact and reach a wider demographic of young people seeking support.

Our approach in working with young people is primarily through Detached Youth Work which involves outreach in local communities. We build relationships with young people to offer support, advice, and opportunities. Additionally, we run youth clubs in Micheldever village and Unit 12, Winnall, and provide drop-in projects and trips.
