About Us

Fleet Phoenix was founded in 2011 as a response to youth services being cut both locally and nationally. As services came to a halt, the vulnerable youth of the area were left without support or anywhere to go to get help.  As a response to the situation, an experienced team of dedicated local youth workers committed to ensuring the resurrection of much needed support for young people by setting up Fleet Phoenix.

 

We created sessions in response to identified needs of vulnerable young people, the community and the new charity's partners.

 

We offered a flexible and creative response to the ongoing needs of the community. The aim was to support young people whoever they are and whatever they are going through, before they experienced crisis point, but the lack of support in the area meant that our first few years were spent firefighting to help the most at risk.

 

From those early days of working 24/7, Fleet Phoenix has truly arisen from the flames to become a much-loved local institution. 

 

Fleet Phoenix now provides a proactive approach which enables early intervention to build strong communities. We offer a friendly safe, warm and welcoming environment where young people are not judged and will leave having learned something or having been supported in some way. 

We co-ordinate a variety of innovative youth projects in Hart for young people aged from 11 to 25 years, delivering music and youth clubs and mentoring projects, in addition to tailored individual support and community outreach in both urban and rural areas of the district. We create the opportunities for positive, creative expression to empower young people to take control.

Our work has proven very successful and has enormous potential to improve the lives and wellbeing of those we work with and in turn to have an incredibly positive impact on the communities of Hart.  

 

We look forward to many years of consistently supporting the young people of Hart to rise from the flames of their challenges.
