We are based in Wiveliscombe and operate both within a local catchment area covering; Wellington, Wiveliscombe, Taunton, and the smaller villages across Taunton Deane and West Somerset and across Somerset.
ITMP provides professional youth work support and advice to young people, relating to issues prevalent to themselves, their communities and their environment. We offer youth provision based on core youth work principles and values to young people living and working in Somerset.
Our programmes provide informal educational activities and positive experiences that enhance learning alongside personal, social, emotional and professional development, as well as expanding skills and experiences, boosting self-esteem and confidence while promoting teamwork and citizenship. We are flexible in our approach, ensuring that the activities that we offer are relevant to the young people we work with.
