The NEST supports young people aged 16-19 who came to the UK alone and are therefore in the care of the local authority. A weekly support drop-in service in Portsmouth is complemented by regular day trips into the South Downs countryside and local places of interest.
Both the weekly sessions and the day trips give the young people a chance to socialise, improve their English, learn vital life skills and explore their new environment. It also provides them with a much needed opportunity to have some fun together in a relaxed atmosphere.
This has been made possible through the support of the National Lottery Community Fund and the dedication of our team of staff and volunteers.
