The Yew Collective (officially registered as The Youth, Engagement and Wellbeing Collective) tackles social injustice, inequality and deprivation for young people and families across North Wales, through education, community activism and personal support. They are based in West Rhyl Young People’s Project.
The Yew Collective works alongside young people, encouraging them to explore their life experiences to enable them to identify and tackle personal barriers; gain the skills that will be beneficial, life enhancing and allow them to make informed lifestyle choices.
They assist young people to break the cycle of poverty and poor health through the provision of programmes that are concerned with both crisis intervention and early intervention/prevention and education.
They deliver three main service strands:
The Drop-in & Information Service (including sexual health clinic)
Viva – Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans Youth Services;
Pixel – multi-media, alternative education programme.
