We believe in a holistic approach to development. Trainers focus on issues relating to individuals, team dynamics and tasks.

Recognising that these areas are inextricably linked, we are helping young people to develop fuller lives. They learn about Independence, Interdependence and their Living Environment, ultimately developing an ability to balance these skills in relation to each other.

Everything learned at Lakeside is transferred back to life at home through structured reviews and personal action plans. Youth workers will leave with evidence of the young person’s development and future goals.

Working in small groups, participants learn valuable lessons about themselves through planning activities, setting goals and evaluating their own learning.
