About The Rendezvous

The Rendezvous has been working with young people (13-25) from our Sherborne base since 1997. Over the last ten years we have adapted our services to reflect the changing needs of young people and we now provide free targeted support for young people to improve mental health and wellbeing outcomes, gain English/Maths qualifications and take their next steps back into education or into college, employment or apprenticeships. In addition to our work in Sherborne we provide learning opportunities in Yeovil and a Young Parents Group and other smaller projects in Gillingham.
We have a small staff team of 7 core staff members and a further 7 sessional/special project workers and an amazing volunteer base of c40 local people, the majority of whom act as tutors (many are ex teachers).
We work with approximately 120-150 young people on an individual basis each year and a further 150 through special projects.
