Sidewalk Detached Youth Project


We are a detached youth project with charitable status (#700733) We are a Christian Charity supported by the Local churches in Scarborough as well as local business and funding organisations. We link with other local organisations such as 4Youth, Faith in Scarborough Schools and Street Angels. Our workers while not all Christians are sympathetic to the faith. Our Chairman of Trustees is Ian Shimmin and our Manager is Sharon Stone. We have 7 workers and one volunteer. Our aim as a Christian Organisation is to demonstrate God’s love in a practical way. Our focal point is the young people who we meet on the streets. We go out 4 days a week and take with us hot chocolate and various resourses. We are there for them should they need help. If there is a problem that we cannot handle we pass them on to people who can. Most times we just chat and build friendships.

You would find us more often than not at ‘Hairy Bobs’ skate park, behind Sainsbury's, or on the Seafront. As well as detached street work we have a regular Monday Night group at holy Apostles Church. We also have a mentoring team who at the moment are regular helpers at raincliffe school. Also we go on trips … Take a look at what we do on our gallery page. We are based in Scarborough. Our administration takes place at the Community Arts Centre Office at St James Church on Seamer Road which we share with FISS and the Arts Co-ordinator for the Centre. WE also enjoy the benefits of the Centre’s Cockleshell café! As a base also for our work we have The Rainbow Centre. We operate from there and report back when we go out at nights.
