Bath Night Life Research  

A researcher spent three weeks conducting interviews with people who worked for, or were part of the many agencies and organisations involved in the Bath night life. Questionnaires and interviews were recorded with young people that use the night life facilities. Consideration was also given to the research of others regarding the night time economy of Bath. The major findings were an exposure of the many issues that arise over the course of the evening. These issues often relate to the consumption of alcohol and range from low level littering to large scale brawls.

Supporting The People With The Dreams

 
An influential Bishop and Cricketer part of FYT's founding story, David Sheppard, once said of FYT, "we must support the people with the dreams". It is an enduring call to youth work.’
 
Recently FYT has been thinking about ways to support the dreamers. Those who are dreaming of new ways to engage young people at the edge through StreetSpace; those dreaming of ways to help the church make a difference to unemployed young people; and dreaming of a way to support young people as they seek to reduce their offending among so many other dreams.
