OUR PARTNERS
about us

We are Youth Hubz

At Youth Hubz, we are one team committed to supporting young people and care leavers to develop the skills and confidence they need to live independently.

Trauma-Informed Care

We prioritise the well-being of young people through a trauma-informed approach.

Person-Centered Support

We customise the support we provide to a young person to ensure we are meeting all of their needs. This is regularly reviewed with the young person and support network.

Life Skills Development

We foster personal growth through engaging activities like cooking, arts and crafts, budgeting, life stories and weekly cook and eat sessions to develop indepent living skills.

Community Engagement

We facilitate access to local services and facilities, enabling young people to explore interests, access educational resources, and engage with the community.

Our Mission and Values

  • To provide a safe environment
  • To support and prepare young people for independence
  • To develop and encourage new skills
  • To be honest and transparent
Our Mission
Our mission is to guide our young people to independence, equipping them with all the skills and confidence they need to lead fulfilling, healthy, happy lives and be a valuable member of our society.
Our Vision
We want our young people to have a sense of belonging, to feel that they really count – that their voice is heard and they are valued and supported as individuals.
Our Ethos
Youth Hubz subscribe to a holistic and child-centred approach: providing a warm, nurturing, stable environment that listens and responds appropriately to the views, wishes and aspirations of the young people we support.

It is important to us that they feel safe, happy and comfortable to be themselves and aspire to develop, thrive and fulfil their potential.
Our Model
Our theraputic model of support is PACE which emphasises the importance of forming positive, empathic, compassionate, and responsive relationships with children who have experienced trauma.
PACE is an approach developed by Dr Dan Hughes, an American psychologist who works with traumatised children and young people.

PACE stands for Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy.

These principles help to promote the experience of safeguarding in our interactions with young people.

April Helliwell

Team Leader
After leaving school, I worked in the textile industry for over 20 years. To support and encourage my daughter to attend college I completed an access to higher education course, where I had the chance to volunteer at a homeless shelter as part of the curriculum.

My passion for helping others then led me to start working with young people, initially in a mother and baby unit. In 2003, I joined Calderdale Council as a casual residential worker, becoming a permanent staff member in 2007. I then moved to a short break unit for children with learning disabilities in 2011, where I stayed until 2015 before changing my career path to focus more on support than care.

For the next 8 years, I had the privilege of supporting 16-18 year old care leavers, and I was even promoted to manager in 2018. It was a very rewarding experience, but I was eager for a new challenge when the opportunity to become a team leader working with Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children (UASC) became available. I'm really enjoying the new experiences and the chance to support these young people as they navigate the asylum process and work towards living independently developing skills for community safety and involvement, personal hygiene, and basis English.

Outside of work, I cherish my time with my children and grandchildren. It brings me great joy to be able to spend quality time with my loved ones.
