Barnardo's Swansea Services Bloom: Swansea - Family support services

What we do

The aim of the service is to promote, safeguard and enhance the rights of young people to assist them to make a successful transition to adulthood and empower them to be heard and to reduce loneliness and anxiety, develop skills, confidence and self-esteem to help young people fulfil their potential.

There are three core elements of the project; life coaching, activity club and befriending & volunteer support. Coaching gives young people the power to unlock their own potential for positive change, by providing them with the tools to build resilience, improve wellbeing, and understand themselves better. Coaching empowers young people to think about and move forward positively in their lives, by creating and working towards specific goals.
Volunteers will help with activities and provide an adult mentor where this is considered more appropriate. Befrienders are members of the local community who befriend and provide ongoing assistance to vulnerable young people.

Who do we support

The service works with care leavers 17 - 25 where there are less services and resources available to support this group of vulnerable young people.

The service also offers young people regular opportunities to get together to experience activities not easily accessed by care leavers alongside group events and regular clubs.
