The Partnership has a youth project entitled "Bridging the Gap" which is funded for 3 years and started in October 2001.

The project worker works with young people and activities to date include: a Newspaper Group and a Youth Club facility at Carlton. The project also supports young people who are involved in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme.

The Partnership is committed to promoting better opportunities for the young people of the communities. The young people's sub-group was established on 7 March 1996, to:

"...assist and enable young people to maximise their potential through personal, social and educational development in order for them to contribute to the sustainability and quality of life of their own community."
