THE WORD ON THE STREETS

Maybe I'm biased given that I work there, but this report about the Council's "Camden Detached Project" is terrific...

They are not attached to any youth centre, and are distinct from outreach colleagues, whose aim is to bring young people into established services. Instead, these detached youth workers focus on what project coordinator Sacha Kaufman describes as "naturally forming groups" of young people - like Jahed Miah, 19, who prefers to "hang out" on the street with his friends in Camden rather than meet at a youth club or centre.
