Peer Mentors For Youths At Risk

Reformed Foundation has trained over 100 unemployed ex-offenders to be qualified peer mentors. These go out and help young people at risk of offending and joining gangs.

We want to keep these qualified mentors in work, doing what they are trained for, but need funds to pay for this to happen.

It is an unfortunate fact that this area of work is criminally underfunded but desperately needed - 75% of youth offenders re-offend within 2 years. Youth Offending Teams (YOTs) want and need these mentors to help direct their young people who, otherwise, just hang around the projects with nothing to do and no one challenging them to be better. However the YOT service has had to deal with funding cuts leaving little money for this much needed work.

We can do something about this with your help. please donate money to this project so we can run our peer mentoring scheme for these youths.

Your money will go towards paying wages for our mentors to interact with young people supporting them to positively change their lifestyle. It will also give ex-offenders an opportunity to build a career within advice and guidance helping them to move away from their own offending history.

So please help - assisting at an early age helps prevent young people grow into hardened adult offenders - I should know I was one of these youths many years ago...

Please give generously and help us improve lives of the young.
