Objectives of Solent Youth Action
Solent Youth Action provides young people with
fun volunteering opportunities that benefit both
the volunteers themselves and the wider community.
We started life in 1999 as a Millennium Volunteers project run by Eastleigh Community Services. It became clear to us that there was a huge demand for youth volunteering from all ages right across South West Hants. We also saw the benefits volunteering could have for young people who didn’t think they could get involved.
To address this, we started new schemes to run alongside Millennium Volunteers and set up Solent Youth Action as an organisation in its own right. We registered as a charity and company limited by guarantee in 2005 and on 31st March 2006 Solent Youth Action became an independent organisation. We would like to thank Eastleigh Community Services for their support.
Solent Youth Action now manages three complementary schemes that provide young people of varying ages and needs with a range of volunteering opportunities.
The Millenium Volunteer scheme has now closed, please vist the Vinspired website.
