There are eight Youth and Community Centres in Tiverton, Barnstaple, Exeter, Totnes, Okehampton, Newton Abbot, Bideford and Exmouth to be used as the bases for open access youth work.

Targeted youth work will provide specific, tailored interventions aimed to support young people with multiple and complex vulnerabilities and needs.
