There new service aims to engage young people from across the BANES area and offer a safe, calm place for them improve their confidence and resilience, be empowered and have their voices heard.

OTR already operates in a number of community sites around BANES, and has an established presence within education and healthcare across the community. Over a year ago, OTR partnered with Youth Connect South West to offer community listening support from their youth and community centre in Twerton. Since then, the service has gone from strength to strength, engaging young people from Twerton and Whiteway in counselling and listening support. It’s been a powerful example of what local collaboration can achieve.
