Reaching Higher

We’re proud to launch our Contextual Youth Work Research Report, a collaborative study developed by Dr Elaine Williams (University of Greenwich) in partnership with the Reaching Higher team.

The report explores how community context shapes young people’s experiences and calls for more connected, collective approaches to youth work in Croydon.

To mark the launch, we brought practitioners and community members together at Croydon College. Huge thanks to our panel speakers Dr Elaine Williams, Natasha Reynolds, Diana Korczynska, Gavin English, and members of the Reaching Higher team for sharing powerful insights from practice and lived experience.

The report is now available digitally: www.reachinghigher.org.uk/contextual-youth-work (link in bio)

We encourage you to read the report, share it within your networks, and join the conversation on how we collectively strengthen contextual approaches to supporting young people in Croydon.
