KIDDERMINSTER AND DISTRICT YOUTH TRUST 

Kidderminster & District Youth Trust provide a safe, secure, fun environment where young people get support in identifying their strengths & skills, so they can avoid, or be better able to deal with challenges in their lives. We help them to increase opportunities, have their voices heard & realise their full potential in society.
