The Rendezvous supports young people who are at risk of falling through the gaps and need a different approach to mainstream school. For nearly 30 years we have provided safe, supportive spaces where every year over 150 young people (14-25) from North Dorset and South Somerset have regained confidence, improved their wellbeing and taken practical steps into learning, training and work.

“They have given me more than an English and Maths qualification. They’ve given me new friends, new experiences but most importantly they gave me my life back.” — Zoe, 17

Every young person we support represents a story like Zoe’s — of anxiety eased, confidence rebuilt, and a life back on track.
