MYA - YOU Project (Merseyside Youth Association)
Merseyside Youth Association provides innovative, practical and positive support to children and young people. Established in 1890, MYA draws on an enormous depth of experience and knowledge whilst remaining dynamic and fresh in its approach.
MYA delivers a wide range of early intervention, prevention projects and workforce development across Merseyside.
The uniqueness of our projects lie in utilising the youth work ethos and methodology across diverse curriculum areas e.g. skills, employability, health, inclusion, arts and the ability to develop bespoke responses, tailor made to meet the needs of individual young people or organisations.
The uniqueness of our organisation lies in its diverse offer to young people, providing universal services and targeted interventions, enabling us to be accessible to all young people and especially those most in need.
The YOU project is a citywide, strategic approach to providing services for disabled children and young people of Merseyside and their families.
Where
Various locations across Liverpool.
What?
Through a collaborative partnership between Merseyside Youth Association and Daisy Inclusive UK we provide:
- A joined-up approach to universal and specialist services, creating visible mainstream pathways and seamless transitions.
- A combination of centre-based, outreach and mobile services and provision.
- Qualified, experienced staff, providing a range of activity, opportunity and informal education in supportive settings.
- Specialist support for all organisations delivering Youth and Play programmes through LCC, aiding facilitation of suitable provision for those with acute and complex needs.
- Provision of training opportunities for staff, volunteers and service users, including bespoke training and courses, designed in response to current local and national issues.
At the core of our MYA YOU project are the weekly SPLICE (Supported Participation Leading to Inclusion Confidence and Empowerment). These clubs champion a reverse inclusion approach to empowering service users, meaning that disabled and non-disabled children and young people participate in activity side by side

- Referral Details
We use our skills, knowledge and experience to empower young people with additional needs to make decisions that will enrich their lives. Our team uses local knowledge to tap into communities across Merseyside.
The idea is that the reward goes both ways, young people give to their communities and in return the communities recognise the hard work of the young people.
