How does Street Talk work?
We make contact with young people on their turf, giving
them information on healthy lifestyle choices, and encourage
them to explore issues. We operate the C Card scheme and
provide condoms as appropriate, often working in areas
where young people are unable to access mainstream
CHOICES
What is different about us?
We work in the evenings, out on the streets, in parks,
around youth groups, just places where young people
congregate. We use detached youth work skills to engage
the young people. We engage with far more males than
females.

What areas do we cover?
Broughton, Hibaldstow, Scawby, Crowle, Burringham, Keadby, Gunness, Barrow, Barnetby, New Holland, Goxhill, Winteringham, Barton, Burton. Parks and youth centres in Scunthorpe Anywhere that young people need us!
Team Promote Services
We recognise that young peoples needs are as individual as the young people themselves, giving them information to help them to choose the best services for them.We encourage them to use CHOICES, and promote mainstream services as the preferred option.
