At Redbridge Youth Offending Service we empower children and young people so that they can go out into the community of Redbridge and make a positive contribution #redbridge #community #reparation

Who says young people don't work hard.
Maybe too hard 😅

Another great day on our garden project

#reparation

[Redbridge YOTPS @YouthOffending]

Really we should have took some before and after pictures.
But this section was completely over run with weeds.
The young people on our garden project worked incredibly well clearing this. 😁

[Redbridge YOTPS @YouthOffending]

Believe it or not, we've been working extremely hard on the allotment. Turning over soil, and digging out deep root's is not easy!
Unless like some of the young people on our project, you work in construction, so according to them this is easy work.😅

A very insightful look into county lines, and how venerable young people can be groomed to work in very dangerous and highly volatile settings.

Working on the allotment today turning over soil in preparation for next year.
A member of staff asked a young person to caption this picture.
They looked up into the sky in deep thought... And we're still waiting for an answer.

Another one of the wonderful posters donated by a member of staff as part of black history month.

This is in our group room, where we hold numerous sessions with young people.

[Redbridge YOTPS @YouthOffending]

Many of the young people who we have worked with over the years share a similar story to Aliyah's.

As a service we bring structure to the lives of these young people so that they can go on to live successful and fulfilling lives as part of wider society.

A young person on our reparation project created the below poster to explain how reparation works from their point of view.
We think they've done a great job.
😁

[Redbridge YOTPS @YouthOffending]

Part of what we do in reparation is in providing extra hands to help out with various Redbridge community .

This picture is from our working with staff from Redbridge parks, where young people on the project help to strim, cut and style hedges and bushes.

Some of the young people on our grow project helping to keep the allotments nice and tidy.

It's in these settings that some of our best work is done in relation to getting young people to really understand the long term implications of becoming involved in criminality.

[Redbridge YOTPS @YouthOffending]

Throwback post to when young people on our projects lent their voices to tell us things they would like to see happening in the borough post Pandemic.

[Redbridge YOTPS @YouthOffending]

We asked some young people on our reparation project what changes they would like to see from councils in supporting their futures after Covid19

[Redbridge YOTPS @YouthOffending]

Look what we found in our allotment 😁
All we need now is some marrow recipe's.

Though really we'll be delivering these and other veg to some more Redbridge community groups. 😊

Our young people really have been working hard this year on our garden project.
