PATHWAYS TO CONFIDENCE aims to build supportive relationships for young people and their families, allowing confidence to grow, helping remove barriers they may have and giving them support to achieve their true potential.
PATHWAYS TO CONFIDENCE is a partnership project provided by Bellshill & Mossend YMCA and COVEY BEFRIENDING.
Commencing in 2014 we have seen significant positive outcomes for the children, young people and families involved. Funded for the first three years in entirety by the Wm Grant Foundation we are pleased to announce part funding from the Big Lottery for the next three years. This will commence in October 2017.
PATHWAYS TO CONFIDENCE is an early intervention pathway of integrated and holistic support to young people and their families as they move through the transition from child to young adult, enabling them and their families to access support through positive role models to reach and sustain their potential.
