Welcome to the homepage of the ADYP website! We are here to support young people aged 10-25 with a variety of tools as we recognise that one size doesn’t fit all. We are proud to announce that we are one of the Mayor of Abingdon’s adopted charities for the year 2021 and have previously won the High Sheriff’s award for Community Integration.
Our vision and mission is simple, we empower and give opportunities to young people to be the drivers behind positive change: To increases their life chances through development of skills which improve their wellbeing and life chances to transform their community through positive engagement that promotes a shared sense of belonging

I have undertaken a BA in Youth and Community Work gaining First Class Honours in the process. I have been working with young people for 12 years’ and love chatting about the deep stuff to offer a new perspective. I think that education is a collaborative process and I am committed to learning and sharing through a process of dialogue and action, working towards positive social transformation. I bring a wealth of knowledge and ideas to the team and often enter the office with new project ideas and a burst of enthusiasm. His social media accounts are below!

I have been a part of the ADYP team for just over 1 year now and have previously been a beneficiary of the project for the last 7 years. I’m currently at college studying Media and work part-time as a Trainee Youth Worker . I have done a lot of work in the community such as organizing senior citizen tea parties and doorstep bingo. I also bring new ideas to the team and help with community events to spread awareness of ADYP and the work we do. His social media accounts are below!
We continue to support our young people. If you can spare a donation to support our work we would appreciate it massively
