		Our Youth Plus work is all about helping our younger residents to increase their aspirations, skills, confidence and achievements. We do this through delivering a range of local projects for young people, working with schools, youth groups and voluntary sector partners - to find out what’s going on in your neighbourhood visit ‘My Local Area’ by selecting your county or typing in the postcode on the website homepage. 
		Through our Hyde Young Pride scheme we encourage our young residents to take part in a range of activities from sports and drama to extra tuition. We have found this increases skills, confidence and personal development. The scheme, designed for ages 16 and under, offers up to £200 to help pay for cultural, educational or sporting activities. For more information about our schemes for young people visit Young Hyde. 
		We also promote healthy home environments and family life for our younger residents...</description></item><item><title>Our Money Plus services aims to improve the fin...</title><link>http://www.hyde-housing.co.uk/redirect.aspx?module=3&amp;doc=12:3471&amp;tid=rss</link><guid>http://www.hyde-housing.co.uk/redirect.aspx?module=3&amp;doc=12:3471&amp;tid=rss</guid><description>

		Our work in neighbourhoods is about making the long lasting improvements to local communities that residents tell us they want to see. We do this by involving as many residents and local organisations as we can, and working out joint solutions to problems.
		As you would expect, every neighbourhood is different so we design the activities we do in a locally tailored way. Some of things we have worked on are improving play areas, delivering more activities for young people, providing groups and activities for older residents, working with the local police to tackle anti-social behaviour, producing estate newsletters so everyone knows what is going on, arranging for Childrens Centres – and other organisations - to bring their services to an estate and opening or running local community centres.
		We work to build strong communities where residents like to live.
