Welcome to the CHAP young persons website!

The Education team at CHAP work with you in secondary schools and youth training groups throughout North Ayrshire. 

You or your friends may have already seen us at one of the following SCHOOLS..

 Greenwood Academy, Irvine Royal Academy, Kilwinning Academy, Auchenharvie Academy,St Matthews Academy, Ardrossan Academy, Garnock Academy, Largs Academy and Arran High School.

YOUTH GROUPS we have worked with:

Scottish Training Foundation, Princes Trust, Spark of Genius, Rathbone Training and The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme.

We hope to educate and inform you on the realities of homelessness and living away from home.

To do this, the Education team have developed different types of sessions and workshops to use when working with you if you are in 4th year, a school leaver, heading off to college or university or part of a youth group.  We try to make our workshops as enjoyable and fun as possible by using;

Interactive quizzes, Groupwork, DVD’s Giant board games…

Not only does it make learning about a serious topic more enjoyable for you, it is also more enjoyable for us to deliver.

Some of the things we look at in our workshops include:

• Reality of Homelessness
• Homelessness in North Ayrshire
• Housing Options
• Independent Living
• Budgeting
