Durham City Youth Project – Coronavirus 

Durham City Youth Project’s Working Arrangements Following Government Guidelines re Covid-19

Following consultation with our Board of Trustees and in line with Government recommendations, with effect from Wednesday 18th March, Durham City Youth Project is taking the following steps: 

• Our team will not host any face to face sessions for the foreseeable future including Youth Clubs, Detached or Outreach.
• There will be a number of virtual one to ones available on a weekly basis for young people to access support and guidance.
• We will offer a postal and drop off C-card service to young people for young people aged 13-19 including virtual sign ups.
• Staff are hosting a number of on-line group sessions aimed at our Juniors and Senior Youth Club members, Youth Council and the young people on Detached and those using our Mobile Sexual Health Support.
• Social media pages will be updated regularly with information regarding support, activities to do in these unprecedented times and signposting to young people in need of help.
• Our office is closed as from today and all staff will work remotely from home.
• All staff are working from home, will be using digital and video technology to continue our work with young people and our partners. 

We will endeavour in the future to rearrange many youth sessions, activities, meetings and events due to take place during this suspension. As soon as we are able, we will communicate directly with young people and partners to confirm details when this will happen and we will work tirelessly to quickly return to programmes as soon as we are able to. We are confident that we can continue to work in partnership to support the delivery of high quality services for children and young people.

These are indeed uncertain times and we have no idea at present how long this situation will continue. If you have any queries or would like further information please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards
