Link to your site would be useful as people can see what’s being generated.

I have used Google Webmaster Tools to try and identify any faults, but its suggests nothing has been found.
You might benefit by going to SEO > Titles & Metas > Post Types > and changing the posts and pages from ‘%%title%% %%page%% %%sep%% %%sitename%%’ to ‘%%title%% %%page%%’
There’s no reason to use valuable page <title> space with ‘Level Two Youth Project’ on every page and post.

This url http://www.leveltwo.org/use-premises/ might get more seo mileage by becoming leveltwo.org/felixstowe-youth-recreation-facility
the meta description for page might read:
‘Our Felixtowe youth hub recreation facility premises are located above Tesco, right in the middle of Felixstowe town centre.
WordPress sites do not HAVE to have a site title or tagline as would be defined in Settings > General. Why bother with it when the site title is replaced by a logo anyways. The tagline can be set to display;none (i am pretty sure) and replaced with a graphic that doesn’t dilute / or negatively impact what the site’s individual pages are targeting.
@stuartleveltwo As well as having a good SEO plugin and using Google webmaster tools to rescan the site, you also need patience. It takes time (think weeks, not days) for Google to push a new page up its results.
It took months before I got the big box showing on the right side of the results page. Enough people have to be searching for you for Google to place you high up the results.
SEO is like shouting in a crowded room: however loud you shout, nobody takes any notice unless they’re interested in you. Shouting louder is using the SEO tool. Getting the interest takes time and other subtle stuff that Google has built in to its algorithms. I found that adding a business to Google (i.e. whereby they send you a physical letter to the business address) made a difference after a few weeks.
Thank you both for taking the time to respond. I’ll take into account the advise you’ve given me, as its much appreciated.
