We are currently assessing the needs of the local and wider community in regard to the support for young people who are currently under-employed or not in employment, education or training and are facing a mental health challenge that makes progression difficult.
Your insight will help shape our current and future programmes.
Overview:
This programme will be delivered at our Ravine Community Nature Reserve and Social Enterprise.
Based on the grounds of Knockbracken Health Care Park, our 20 acre Nature Reserve is situated 5 miles from Belfast City Centre and is home to our Explore and Market Garden Social Enterprises.
The programme provides a unique nature-based environment for accredited training and to gain work experience in a variety of nature-based career paths, allowing young people to develop key employability and life skills while learning practical skills from industry professionals.

- Supporting progression into employment, training, or education
- Delivering activity in a nature-based environment
We are gathering views from:
- Young people
