Canvey Island Youth Project (Yellow Door) works with young people between the ages of 11 and 25 in our community, especially those who are disadvantaged because of often-interrelated issues such as poverty, homelessness, addiction, learning difficulties, behavioural problems, family issues and mental health problems. Our aim is to enable the young people who use our service to develop the knowledge, life skills and confidence needed to make informed choices and to manage their sometimes very challenging life circumstances.
