Space Youth Services

Who we are

Space Youth Services deliver professional youth work, community projects and other services to ensure young people have the best opportunities to succeed. We are driven by our values:

• Integrity - Doing what’s right, even when no one is watching.

• Respect - Interacting with fairness, kindness and dignity.

• Determination - We give people a second chance, and a third, fourth, fifth.....

• Collaborative - Doing great things together and with others.

• Accountable - Managing risk, taking responsibility and being accountable to each other and our stakeholders.

• Dynamic - Creating fun and a little bit of weirdness.

Space unlocks potential with young people and their communities by providing safe spaces to grow, connect and inspire each other.

We bring passion, integrity and collaboration through all of our work and provide a wide range of targeted, needs-led, and professional services. We support young people from all circumstances and backgrounds to learn, create and realise their potential by providing spaces to hang out with mates, talk about things they can’t ask their parents, gain confidence and try new things.

We are a not-for-profit charity and as an independent organisation we are able to focus on delivering the best services for young people in our communities. We manage risks, we are respectful whilst creating a fun space for young people to grow.

We were established as a Public Service Mutual (PSM) and promote employee ownership at all levels of the organisation governance. Our Board of Independent and Staff Trustees have created mechanisms to directly hear the voices of young people, enabling them to help drive the direction of their organisation.  We thrive on the trusted partnerships we have developed with over 70 other youth organisations across Devon, from national charities to small community-based youth clubs and single issue focused organisations.
