About our cause

The Rendezvous is a rural Dorset charity that helps young people improve their life chances by providing advice, information, training and emotional support and mentoring. We are the only organisation of this kind in the area and have been working with young people between the ages of 13 and 25 for nearly 20 years. Every year we help around 300 young people find jobs; gain qualifications; resolve housing and benefits issues; avoid exclusion from school; improve young people’s ability to manage stress and anxiety; reducing self harm and raising self-esteem and self-confidence and increase their optimism for their future. In the face of huge cuts in public services we are proud that our services remain completely free to all young people. This ensures that every young person can access the support they need irrespective of their circumstances. In 2015 we were named ‘Community Group of the Year’ by the local paper and we continue to be hugely appreciative of the support we receive from people living near and far.
