‘A PLACE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO BELONG’

Somewhere they can come that feels safe, supportive and somewhere they can grow in confidence. This is the place where young people come when they are initially referred to The Pillar. There is no faith bias in any of the projects in this element.

PROJECTS

THE PILLAR SPACE - LAUNCHED IN SEPTEMBER 2023

We offer a weekly after school drop-in group run at St Wins Church, Totton. At The Space, we focus on giving young people the opportunity to engage with the NHS 5 steps to wellbeing through hobbies, conversation, learning new skills and connecting with other young people and leaders. The Space is open in term time and young people will need to be referred by a local professional before joining. There is no requirement for young people to participate in any other projects in order to continue accessing The Pillar Space.

The Pillar Space runs at St Wins Church every Thursday in term time 3-6pm, starting on 14th September 2023.

THE PILLAR YOUNG LEADS - LAUNCHING 2025

As young people grow in confidence, we encourage them to contribute and lead in areas within The Space, in ways that involve their strengths and interests. This may include making refreshments, leading an activity or supporting younger people in their groups. Our hope is that young people will grow in their leadership and we want to provide opportunities for young people to use that within The Pillar project and/or wider church to impact the next generation.
