In partnership with the Youth Service and Youth Offending service, we are in the process of establishing a targeted youth support service for Doncaster where the service will be structured against the needs and circumstances of ALL young people.

In order to support this work, it has been recognised by Connexions Doncaster and Borough Partners, the need to ensure continuity across universal and targeted services.
