We provide additional support to children and young people in need who are referred to our projects. Support includes:

LYT defines participants in need as:

- Facing marginalisation or requiring additional support to take part (including looked-after children, young carers, those with mental health difficulties, those with English as an additional language; and those with low literacy/numeracy)
