In EYST we have a team of trained and experienced youth workers who are also from diverse minority backgrounds themselves, meaning that they will understand what you are going through, and will have the skills to support you through it. Our youth workers can engage in or work with secondary schools in Wales – so please get in touch if this is something you would like help with. Or, you could simply email youthwork@eyst.org.uk and we will get back to you very quickly.

In Swansea, we have a Youth Drop In Centre which is open Monday to Friday from 3pm to 6pm.

· Mondays and Tuesdays are Boys only Nights; Wednesdays and Thursdays are Mixed; Fridays are Girls only Nights. Here you can come drop in at any time, have a game of pool, table-tennis or use our IT suite, all in a safe, accessible and welcoming environment, supervised by our team of qualified youth workers. Our premises in Swansea are fully wheel-chair accessible.

· On Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday any young person aged between 10 to 25 can attend. On Wednesday any young person between 10 to 18 can attend. We welcome any young person regardless of ethnicity, religion, sexuality or ability.

· We regularly host workshops delivered by external service providers such as the Police, Fire Service, Universities etc on specific topics of interest.

· We offer a minibus pick up service from some schools – talk to your teacher to ask if this is available in your school.

· We organise trips, activities and a range of opportunities to get involved in our different projects including our Belonging Project, BME Sports Cymru project; and more!

In Cardiff, our youth workers undertake:
