It is part of their ethos to see every person as 'special'. This is repeated often to young people, many of whom have a very low sense of self-esteem. Living Proof teaches that every person has a story to tell and skills to give. It is part of Living Proof's work to draw out these gifts and skills and to provide a framework in which they can be used for the benefit of others and themselves. Living Proof brings provisions for needs, not simply activities as an opiate against social deprivation.
Young people learn to play, to participate and to take responsibility.
It is a key part of Living Proof that young people are trained in community development and youth work. The leaders are qualified to train for GNVQs. Their work is focused in local schools, where they work closely with the staff. Their professionalism in the provision of after-school clubs and many other activities has been recognised by local government, the Welsh Office and the Children in Need. In all this activity, their Christian wellspring is evident by the fruit.
