Growing Together

Growing Together, based within Doncaster Council in Doncaster, provides essential tailored educational and developmental support for young people seeking an inclusive and nurturing environment. The club specialises in Alternative Provision and Post 16 SEND Provision, offering core academic assistance in Maths and English for students who are currently unable to access mainstream education. This dedicated programme is designed to foster confidence and self-worth, directly addressing social, emotional, and mental health needs through individualised support.

Participants benefit from developing crucial physical skills through engaging outdoor activities and hands-on experiences within a vibrant community garden. Growing Together actively cultivates skill development pathways, creating meaningful, recognised, and valued experiences, particularly for individuals not immediately pursuing further education or employment. The dedicated team supports a diverse range of age groups, accommodating young people under 16, secondary school students, and young adults aged 16 and over, ensuring sessions are flexibly tailored to meet unique requirements. A positive learning environment is championed by friendly, knowledgeable staff, providing specialist SEND support and expert guidance within a welcoming and community-focused atmosphere. The provision maintains a strong commitment to high-quality, individualised care, underpinned by qualified key workers who ensure an inclusive experience for all.

Families also appreciate the exceptional value offered, with services and food options, including affordable meals, consistently highlighted for their remarkably low cost. Growing Together is dedicated to providing a safe, secure, and supportive setting, especially for vulnerable young people, where everyone feels included and valued. This commitment ensures regeneration and growth for all participants, from the land and local environment to the individuals themselves.
