Hot Chocolate Trust

About

Hot Chocolate Trust’s work has 2 aspects: youth work with young people is our overwhelming priority. wider impact work has grown out of this. Youth work includes open sessions attended by approx. 150 young people each fortnight, small group work, individual support, street work, volunteering, holiday programmes and residentials. Austerity, cost of living crisis, & local & global uncertainties have impacts on young people trying to find their place in the world. Systemic pressures on communities cannot be dodged but we are very proud of our sustained and effective youth work. Wider impact work seeks to improve young people’s experiences in and beyond Dundee through sharing the youth work practices, resources and tools which have been developed within Hot Chocolate. We amplify young people’s voices. we share training, coaching, development processes and tools developed in our youth work. we nurture wider relationships with practitioners, decision-makers and policy makers.
