Full programme & updates

Due to the recent tragic incident that occurred on April 30th, 2024, in Redbridge, the London Borough of Redbridge has commissioned Youth Unity CIC – Prevent, Prepare & Protect to provide reassurance education workshops.

As part of our response, we will be conducting outreach activities through our Mobile Intervention Unit, which will be stationed near local schools between 3:30 pm and 5:30 pm. These activities will include mobile sports provision, gaming, and music, aimed at engaging and supporting the students.

In addition to our detached youth work, we will be delivering workshops in several schools in the area.

The workshop element will focus on several themes.

Offering community reassurance can significantly help ease tensions and fears, especially for parents living in the local area. By providing a visible and proactive presence, we demonstrate our commitment to the safety and well-being of their children. Community reassurance activities, such as our Mobile Intervention Unit and educational workshops, offer parents peace of mind by actively addressing the root causes of youth violence and providing support to young people. This approach not only helps to prevent future incidents but also fosters a sense of security and trust within the community.
