PARTNERSHIP WITH SCHOOL
Our schools coordinator maintains weekly communication with a school senior contact, to ensure there is an excellent flow of information and feedback about progress
Young people need good adults in their life. Adults who are trustworthy and available. That's what Dreamscheme youth workers are known to be. We surround young people with fun, trustworthy leaders who really care.
WHAT SCHOOLS ARE SAYING
G Scott, Vice Principal, Breda Academy:
“We find everybody very approachable, dependable, caring, and solution focused to what our young people need. That’s why we’re delighted that Dreamscheme is our number one external support partner in Breda, and we’re proud to have you as part of our school community.”
D Collins, Vice Principal, Lagan College:
"Dreamscheme has made a difference in this year's pupils, helping to tackle issues of anti-social behaviour & attendance towards school. We have had great feedback from pupils and we can notice a difference."
