Shift - Detached Youth Work

Shift Logo

We work closely with the local police on the streets and in the local park, where young people congregate in the evenings and invariably get involved in anti-social activities. We spend time engaging with the young people and encouraging them to take part in sports activities or to make use of the local Police Youth Resource Bus, the work is supported by the police who say that they have seen an immediate reduction in youth crime in the local area on the nights we were working.

"They do much of their detached work on Friday and Saturday nights when young people are most in need of something to divert them away from activities that put them at risk from themselves or others.  The strength of N-gage lies in the fact that they respect the young people they work with and that their programmes are structured in such a way that young people discover things about themselves and others that often lead to them choosing to adopt a different way of thinking and a more positive lifestyle."
