Children's Work
Our aim is to stimulate and encourage children to participate in opportunities and
programmes. These will take place within a safe, warm and caring atmosphere
thereby enhancing the child’s personal, social and emotional development.
Youth Work
Our youth work practice aims to be both educative and empowering, by developing
the individual’s social skills thus enabling them to make informed life decisions
and act on them. We seek to address inequalities by including work with young
people most in need. The work is participate by nature in order that young people
are involved in decision making. It is much more than recreation, although it
uses recreational activities as a medium through which educational outcomes are
achieved. AWS is also the operating authority for the delivery of various award
schemes, namely Duke of Edinburgh's Award, Youth Achievement Award and Sports
Leaders UK Award. It is undertaken in youth centres, through holiday programmes
and residential experiences and in partnership with schools and other agencies.
Community Work
Our aim is to help provide recreational and educational opportunities, activities and
experiences for people of all ages within the Rheindahlen community. This should
enable the best possible use of premises and resources for the benefit of all that live
and work within the Rheindahlen area. Having described these specific areas of work
it is worthwhile re-stating that our aim within Community Support is to help to provide
experiences that respond to the needs of the community.
