Teen AQA Unit Award Holiday Programme – Free Places Available

The Teen AQA Unit Award Holiday Programme is a dynamic, youth-led initiative designed to empower vulnerable young people aged 12–15 through accredited learning, personal development and therapeutic support. Delivered by Reach and Unite Outreach & Empowerment CIC, the programme offers a safe, structured and inclusive space where participants can engage in meaningful activities, gain AQA Unit Awards, and build positive relationships. Young people will benefit from a mix of group-based workshops, creative sessions, and 1:1 mentoring or counselling, tailored to their emotional, social and behavioural needs. The programme is specifically designed to keep at-risk young people off the streets, reduce exposure to harm, and offer alternatives to anti-social behaviour, gang involvement or exploitation. With a strong emphasis on safety, connection and achievement, the programme aims to build confidence, develop coping skills, and create safer communities by supporting the most vulnerable during critical out-of-school periods.
