Support Information

Progressive Routes is a partnership between Bath & North East Somerset Council, Bath Rugby Foundation, and Little Lost Robot, funded by the West of England Combined Authority.

From arts & culture engagement through to CV / interview preparation, our young person-led support creates a new game-changing service for young people in Bath and North East Somerset.

The Arts sector is a space where young people who struggle in a school environment can thrive, supporting team building, growth in self-discipline and group working, reducing social isolation, building confidence, and creating new routes into further/higher education and employment for young people.

Progressive Routes offers young people opportunities to improve self-worth, make friends, and create safe spaces to talk and share complicated feelings.
