Enthusiasm

A local social entrepreneur and other local residents initiated a Friday night youth club which attracted a large number of young people and had a positive impact on their lives. From these beginnings, the Enthusiasm Trust expanded and developed and in July 2001 became a registered charity No. We have continued with the core values of local people wanting to make a difference and have developed a unique approach to youth work by recruiting and developing local young people to become mentors to others in their peer group. This approach provides stronger foundations in local communities and promotes change from within to help to regenerate the areas where we work.
