Project Updates

Stay Safe – ensuring young people are safe and making positive choices

This project is still our main project and works across Greater Manchester to engage young people and ensures they have access to services, advice, guidance and have the confidence to grasp the opportunities this country has on offer.

This year we have worked in Trafford, Manchester, Salford, Stockport.

The project closed down for 10 weeks during the first lockdown, as it was a legal requirement, and restarted early June 2020. We have not stopped since.

Salford – this work is expanding into new areas and we have built a solid reputation with local stakeholders. Young people know who we are and ask for help regular.

Trafford – this work has been solid for over 3 years now and we cover the whole borough. We have completed a lot of work here around street robberies and knife crime.

Stockport – our newest area and has been effected the most due to Covid for the local partnership is still new to us.

Manchester – the most exciting work we are currently delivering is in Cheetham Hill in North Manchester. An area infested with organised crime and violence. It took a while for us not to be seen as under cover police, but now we are accepted and doing some great work here to stop the next generation being groomed into criminal gangs.

Young People engaged over the year: 850 individuals

Two great examples of success this year:

14 year old girl confided in us that a local 17 year old boy she knew had contacted her on social media and asked to meet her. She agreed. He took her to a secluded alley way and sexually assaulted her. He contacted her again to meet. She agreed. The same thing happened. And a third time. She brought up these incidents with us to ask if this was normal. Was he her boyfriend now. Did she have to continue meeting him for she did not like the encounters. Over a couple of sessions we helped her to understand ‘consent’ and encouraged her to speak to her mum about the situation. We also spoke to the police as a safeguarding priority. The boy was known and under investigation for several other similar assaults. The girl’s parents thanked us, via the girl, and they pressed charges against the boy. The question we need to ask is how long would this girl of allowed herself to be assaulted? She was naive. She was unsure on the protocols of dating and relationships. She did not want to look like a fool if she protested. All she needed was someone she trusted to speak to in confidence to help her figure out what was right and wrong.
a 17 year old boy confided in us that he was getting involved in low level criminality because his friends were. He had been thinking about it for a while and could not find an answer. We dug deeper without asking for specific examples. It turned out he was basically following the crowd. His friends would steal something and he would be stood there watching. His friends would sell some cannabis and he would be stood there watching. He was not stupid and knew he would eventually get involved or he would be blamed for his friend’s actions. We helped him figure out his dilemma by giving him questions to answer. This allowed him to think critically. This went on over several weeks until one day he turned up to say he was not going to socialise on the streets in his

neighbourhood anymore. He was going to see his college friends more outside of school. His conclusion was that hanging on the streets was going to ruin his life. He did not know when but knew it was just a matter of time until something happened that would affect him negatively.

Sutton Community Centre

We handed back the community centre to Clarion Housing in Oct 2020.

Change4Good

Due to Covid and the initial contraction in the employment market, we cancelled this project in August 2020.

Northwold Community Centre

This project was only for a two year period, it was extended due to Covid. It was finally terminated in August 2020.
