Urban Heard believes in every young person who walks through our door. We do not focus on their past but their future and will use the arts, mentoring and self-efficacy to support the young person to achieve in life and to make positive choices. Most importantly we don't do it to them but with them so to produce sustainable change.

Our Services
Peer-led Intervention
Outreach
Advocacy
Using tried and tested behavioural techniques to harness the power of positive peer-pressure to change negative attitudes & behaviours, particularly around public health messages & Violence reduction.
A service that goes hand-in-hand with our peer-led behaviour change programme and research but also a stand alone service to engage and support young people in all locations. Either to promote a service or to simply engage through detached youth work.
At Urban Heard, we believe in the growth mindset, we give young people a voice and a platform to be heard. We will support young people when they are working with other professionals to ensure that they understand and have a voice to explain how they feel and what they want.
Research
Specialist in using creative & engaging research techniques with all ages to gain a valuable insight into thoughts and attitudes of children and young people. Experts at engaging large numbers in tight timescales we can collect the raw data or contact analysis and reports to support with needs analysis, grant/bid applications or simply to evaluate your service.
Youth Club
Urban Heard has a very exciting youth club opening at Crabtree Hall, B37 5BU. This is an after school youth club until 7pm where young people can meet, play and enjoy being young in a safe environment. Our fully trained youth workers are there to support and steer the young people as well as ensure COVID guidelines are being followed. A free meal and access to a professional music studio will help to engage young people, as well as gaming, films and table tennis.

"Getting involved in a project has really helped my confidence. I am really quiet but on outreach I was going up to strangers to tell them about our project and it felt amazing."
Girl 15
"The Urban Heard team out of many other youth organisations have been the most helpful to my personal growth. Talking to us about the mistakes they made and preventing us from making the same mistakes. They are people I feel I can trust, to support me when no one else will."
