Finalists, 'Demonstrating excellence in partnership planning and delivery at a local level.'

The dedicated team at Newport Youth and Play Service (NYPS) launched a bespoke project to support often isolated, young refugees and asylum seekers arriving in Newport. Understanding the crucial role of safe spaces and community connections, NYPS empowers these individuals as they navigate their new environment.

This collaborative project directly involved the young people; co-creating sessions that blended engaging activities with essential information sessions. This ensured the project addressed their specific needs and concerns, offering support with integration, independent living skills, education, training, and employment. Recognising the importance of partnerships, NYPS teamed up with Newport Social Services to foster positive relationships between young people and professionals through engaging sessions.
