2024 - Winchester Street Reach
Street Reach is a Winchester charity working with young people. Their work is particularly targeted towards those experiencing disadvantage.
The need for a charity for young people in Winchester emerged from the local homeless and night shelter projects. Many of the adults using these services had experienced difficulties in childhood and were at risk of unemployment and homelessness before they had reached 16, and so, in 1983 the charity was formed.
The charity's core work is to reach out into the community to get to know and understand young people and their needs in order that support could be offered to young people with unmet needs that are not engaging with other services.
