EYC Project team and young people
Who are we?

Rooted in lived experience

EYC is a family born, youth led, values driven organisation that uses lived experience alongside professional and academic expertise to support young people experiencing multiple disadvantage in working towards a positive future.

EYC is inspired by Elizando Yolande Carty, known as Annette, a mother who navigated significant adversity in her own childhood and adult life while raising her children with compassion, strength and determination. Her children now work across frontline mental health, education, sport and youth work, and together have decided to build an organisation of their own to support families facing similar challenges.

How do we support young people?

Walking alongside young people and the professionals who support them

We support professionals working with young people, and young people and families directly, helping them navigate complex systems and challenges while building the skills to help others, or to progress independently.

  • •

    Using Freirian principles to create meaningful dialogue that redistributes power and hears from those impacted on what does and doesn't work.

  • •

    Taking a person centred approach to support young people and families across multiple systems and services.

  • •

    Delivering workshops and bespoke programmes for professionals, young people and families.

  • •

    Providing transitional support through key life transitions across education, care, health and criminal justice pathways.

  • •

    Managing and creating programmes collaboratively with partner organisations to maximise impact, alignment and quality of support.
