"In my role as Youth Strategy Officer and previous to that as a School Beat Manager in South Bristol I have worked closely with Youth Moves. They are a fantastic organisation who care passionately about the young people of South Bristol. I have had the privilege of working alongside them on a number of projects and I have seen up close the passion, dedication, care and belief they show to the young people they work. It is clear that at the heart of Youth Moves they want to improve young people’s lives and inspire them onto a positive pathway and I truly hope that they can continue the fantastic work they do for many more years to come."

"As the Assistant Principal in charge of pastoral care at Bedminster Down School, we use Youth Moves to add extra pastoral capacity for supporting our students both in and out of school.We have found them dynamic and flexible and able to adapt quickly to changes throughout the academic year. When lock down shut schools Youth Moves were quickly and pragmatically able to work around the plethora of logistical issues they were presented with and were able to continue delivering group interventions using online platforms such as Zoom.

They have supported us on pastoral issues such as attendance and behaviour but the student voice has also been very positive where they enjoy sessions in school. Youth Moves are pragmatic, dynamic, and engaging."

The staff are always 100% committed to working towards the best outcome for the young people they engage with, delivering against their seasonal targets and developing high quality programmes that top the regional satisfaction score leader board. Youth Moves set themselves apart from others by consistently challenging themselves to improve their year-round service to young people through localised pre-programme engagement and impactful extension activities post-programme. Their skilled workforce are passionate about what they do and why they are doing it - it has been inspiring to work with them."
