Project introduction –
Our project aims to establish a community- driven support programne for young adults from diverse backgrounds in Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield and Manchester who are struggling with an unexpected financial difficulties and other life expectancy challenges with negative mental health issues.
The initiative stems from community feed back and first hand accounts of individuals facing challenges such as inability to pay for education, housing, insecurity and depression.
Our Objectives
1. Provide mental health support and financial guidance
2. Creat a supportive community network that could come to their aid.
3. Prevent these vulnerable individuals from resorting to criminal activities.
Background– Crime disproportionately affects young people from various areas of our communities. Growing up in an area with a significant amount of crime surrounding them can hinder development, well-being, and prospects profoundly.
Crime or criminal activities can also erode trust in institutions leading to feelings of helplessness. Every young person deserves to feel safe no matter where they are from. We cannot allow crime to disrupt the normal development trajectory of young people’s lives.
Exposure to crime or criminal activities can have devastating consequences. It can lead to academic difficulties, behavioural problems, and increased risk of engaging in criminal behaviour.
It can also lead to young people feeling alienated from society. Forcing them to isolate themselves from the world, leading to difficulty forming trusting relationships or seeking help when needed.
Young people can be vulnerable in the face of crime or criminal activities or behaviours and this must be recognised. If this vulnerability leads to their involvement, their life chances can be destroyed, perpetuating a cycle of disadvantage and marginalisation. Young people involved in crime may face stigma and discrimination, further hindering their ability to reintegrate into society denying them a successful and fulfilling lives.
We must tackle crime and criminal activities or criminal behaviours among our youths and young adults to allow young people to have equal opportunities and live a meaningful life.
We must work together and listen to each other. If we do, we can break this cycle together and make our communities safer .
