Space 2 Elevate aims to be the go to service where young people can address and overcome their trauma and other support requirements in a safe way. Our 1-2-1 and group support and workshops will enable young people to build positive and healthy relationships with support staff, family (where applicable), their peers and their tutors. We aim to 'flip the script' (change the narrative) and provide the opportunity for our young people to have positive experiences that they may have missed out on as a result of being in care. We endeavour to provide a high quality, young person centred service that enables our young people to achieve the same outcomes as their counterparts who have not been part of the care system. We will support our young people to overcome; childhood trauma, mental health issues, risk of exploitation (sex, county lines etc), substance abuse and reoffending whilst increasing their engagement with education, self employment and employment.
What we'll deliver:
- High quality living spaces for young people
- Workspace for sessions and workshops
- Communal PC
- Redecoration of communal living area
- Days out and activities for care leavers
Why it's a great idea:
Our project will provide a safe environment where they will receive support and education that will help them overcome their barriers and go on to live independent and successful lives. It will also improve their self confidence and help them to build positive relationships with support staff, peers, family (where applicable) and the community in which they live.
Steps to get it done:
- Furnish Rooms to High Standard x 4
- Create Workspace for Sessions and Workshops
- Redecorate Communal Living Area
- Purchase Communal PC
- Purchase Bicycles

VolunteerAbout the Project Creator
Elevate The Youth CIC was incorporated in 2017 and following community research and consultation we launched our services in 2019. We provide 2 main services Root Cause Active Therapy Mentoring (RCATM) and Construction and Built Environment career awareness and support programmes, events and a holiday club. It is based in Wolverhampton and serves Black County and targeted areas of London.
Our services are aimed at young people aged 9-25 who are; from deprived areas, disadvantaged backgrounds, at risk of exclusion, in care or assigned a social worker, at risk of offending or violent crime and at risk of exploitation (sexual, county lines etc). We work with Social Services, West Midlands Police and a number of educational providers to provide our (RCATM) and motivational talks.
We also work with schools to provide training to staff focussed on how to approach young people who; display challenging behaviour and those who come from ethinic backgrounds. This involves equality awareness and deescilation tehniques. Were the root cause of a young persons barriers stem from their home life we provide advocacy services which includes home visits.
The effectiveness and success of our services and the feedback on the main barriers faced by our young people, combined with my passion for construction and property led to the creation of Kebra Properties Ltd which is a run as a social enterprise. We aim to become of on the best semi independent providers for Care Leaver aged 16+. We will deliver the best levels of support as well as high quality accommodation, to provide our young people with an environment where they can learn, thrive and grow. Resulting in them being physically, mentally and emotionally equip to lead successful lives and careers and build positive relationships.
