We are FACE Foundation for Active Community Engagement

Who are we?

FACE is a charity with youth and community at the centre of its work.  While FACE is recognised as a leading provider of youth work in South Gloucestershire, we work with people of all ages with a variety of needs in Bristol and South Gloucestershire.  Our activities create community participation, increase skills and opportunities, and promote wellbeing. We help to break down barriers between individuals and groups from different backgrounds, enabling people to come together and collaborate.

What we do

Our provision as a whole is vast. We work with people from different age groups and socioeconomic backgrounds, and support neurodiverse young people and those with disabilities. We approach every single project with the same ethos of community cohesion, and are actively growing our inclusivity as an organisation.

FACE runs regular projects during term-time, plus additional provisions during school holidays.

We facilitate a variety of activities, including sports, the arts, outdoor sessions, education, health & wellbeing, and more.

In FACE’s youth work projects, we offer opportunities for personal and educational growth, through award and accreditation pathways.

FACE works in partnership with mainstream and special schools, sharing knowledge of effective engagement with young people to support their education.

For those with additional needs, we aim to provide a safe space for community and self-expression, through regular groups, day trips and family support during school term breaks.

Please see our calendar for what’s on

“Since FACE have taken over the youth work provision in Patchway we have seem to have a drastic turn around in the activities offered with youth workers actively engaging with the older young people in our community. The dedication, drive and enthusiasm has been a joy to behold and we thank for them for improving our provision.”
