Our mission
Tarner Community Project was established in 1996. The Tarner neighbourhood experiences some of the highest levels of deprivation in the city impacted by low income, complex living conditions, mental and physical health challenges. A key ambition for us is to provide services, activities, advice and guidance to support these individuals and offer a wide range of free and affordable opportunities. We work with children and young people aged 4 -19 (SEN aged 24) and families. We provide high quality childcare through our all year round After School Clubs and holiday play schemes. Young people enjoy FREE weekly youth clubs, activities and coached sport sessions, as well as school holiday clubs, projects, trips and residentials. We offer young people one-to-one support and work with families, schools and social workers for those deemed at risk. We also offer confidential support to parents/carers on request.
Established city-wide multi-agency partnerships we maintain enable us to access a broad range of opportunities and support. We work to ensure everyone’s voices are heard throughout the community. We regularly consult with our service users and those we engage with to understand their challenges and changing needs so we can adapt our services and seek opportunities to support them.
The Project became an Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CiO) in 2013 and changed its name to Tarner Community Project (formally Tarnerland Children and Young People’s Project). The key ambition for the project remains the same; to offer essential services to families, children and young people in the local community. Through partnership working we now offer city-wide youth activities and support.
