Some statistics that are collected by Youth Workers in the centre. Categorised by the way the young person engages with the service, for example, a young women will be counted as 1 if she enters the centre though she may be counted specifically as 1 in a group of many who are there for a structured program. The capacity of how and why young people use or visit the centre is important for many reasons, many to do with providing adequate response to need, and backing up claims for funding, though what these statistics also provide is an understanding of types of young people who the service does not cater for or engage with. Statistics are important if you wish to monitor and coordinate an inclusive service.
