Help Youth Unity CIC to buy a van to turn into a 'Mobile Youth Intervention Centre'! The aim of our project is to collaborate with statutory organisations in the delivery a one-stop mobile intervention centre. The van will enable us to travel throughout Havering and pop up in different areas as an accessible central point for the delivery of workshops/focus groups and other activities. How we'll use our van: The Detached work: young people are sought in the locations on the street where they usually spend their time. Travelling around to these locations aims to create contact, council, and provide assistance. Working with groups: a variety of groups that are accessible through schools, through single young people and “cliques”. The ‘mobile youth intervention centre’ will be used be utilised to transport the event equipment for the pop-up workshops, the filming equipment, along with the general day to day running of the business.

Youth Unity CIC Project sustainability and improvement plan is paramount, and our staff have a track record of delivering projects and programmes that continue to have an impact beyond the funding period. This sustainability has been achieved in several different ways, with staff training and partnership working key to the legacy of each project. Having discussed in depth with Statutory and third sector Organisations this proposal will meet the current gap in outreach services, address significant social issues and generate investment in a much needed area and aid the development of our CIC. The training and workshop legacy and the Safeguarding of people locally will live long after the project has ceased with the knowledge being utilised on the ground post-delivery.

Our focus is Early Intervention and Early Identification of those ‘at risk’ from Gangs, Serious Youth Violence, Criminal Exploitation and associated vulnerability strands.
This is consistent with the Government’s 4P approach and contained within the Serious and Organised Crime strategy.
This strategy effectively coordinates national joint working to reduce the level of serious and organised crime affecting our local communities. It uses the framework often referred to as the 4Ps (Pursue, Prevent, Protect and Prepare) and strengthens a partnership approach to safeguarding our most vulnerable and tackling offenders. –
Our key objectives are consistent with this strategy and approach :
Prevent – To stop people becoming gang members, being exploited or participating in violence.
Prepare – To effectively mitigate risks through preventative measures and innovative creative media early intervention. With the aim to kick start conversations, build resilience and inspire change around complex social issues.
Protect – To strengthen adults and young people by building their emotional and cognitive (thinking) resilience, better enabling them to ‘say no’ to gangs, violence, drugs, crime and other forms of exploitation and vulnerability themes.
We work with schools, colleges, police forces, social services, LSCBs, charities, borough councils, county councils, private businesses, national government agencies to deliver productions, workshops and training for young people and adults across the UK.
Our team has cumulatively 88 years of experience in youth and community development. We believe that with this experience we can develop Youth Unity over the next five years to become a one stop shop for young people to seek help, advice and training to enable them to go onto leading sustainable and healthy lives. To encourage better community cohesion by running events and projects that bring BAME, LGBT including people with disabilities together to form a better understanding of our differences.
