We offer many opportunities that reach out and engage with young people across Dorset. Increasingly we are focusing on recognising achievements through our Young Leaders’ Scheme, AQA Unit Awards Scheme and Peer Mentoring Programme.

We are proud to have achieved the Ambition Quality Bronze national kitemark recognising safe, good quality youth provision.

``The Chatterboxes changed my life. When once I was depressed and disliked my disability, autism, I’m now a multi-award winning autism activist who loves my disability BECAUSE this charity supported me to embrace and accept my autism and taught me skills and self-belief that I never before thought possible.

``Every young person blossoms in The Chatterboxes' care, coming on in leaps and bounds, within the supportive care and structure of this wonderful community.``
