Residentials

Residentials are an important part of our work. They are a chance to take a group away for an extended period of time (normally 3-5 days), into an environment they are not used to, in order to try new challenging activities that will stretch them.

Within the normal course of work with a group we will do at least one residential, allowing them and us to explore the dynamics of their peer group and afford experiences for reflection and learning.

We regularly use outdoor pursuits centres for residentials. For some young people it is the first time they have stayed outside of the city environs for any length of time and this creates a lot of discussion and new learning for the participants.
