It exists to enhance your educational experience through activities which include voluntary work, residential programmes, partnership work with local organisations, social interactions and group project work. We try to give you the opportunity to take part in exciting youth-led activities which might enable you to raise awareness of issues which are of importance to you or just enjoy interacting with friends in an organised social environment. Further and higher education establishments appreciate this type of extra-curricular involvement and it can impact on gaining a place at an over-subscribed college. It will look positively great on your CV!
The focus is very much on your social, emotional and personal development. YOUthside promotes good relationships for all. It is a concept developed around trust and a mutual respect for one another and aims to provide a strong, positive guiding influence. It is a support agency and you choose to come to us voluntarily.
MHCC recognise that it’s equally important to prepare you socially and morally and as well academically so that you will become well-rounded individuals equipped with everything you need to make a positive impact and achieve your full potential.
