As part of my Local Charity of The Week Scheme, during Op Sceptre I would like to highlight the excellent work of the Swindon Youth Justice Service and the crucial role of volunteers, who are actively supporting positive outcomes for young offenders in a variety of ways.
The Swindon Youth Justice Service aims to prevent children and young people from breaking the law and to help them from re-offending. Its purpose is to help children and young people who have offended to get the help and support they need to become valued and productive members of society and to repair the harm that they might have caused. The service is multi-disciplined and works together with a range of organisations.
All volunteers are trained, supervised, and appraised (to the same high standard as employed staff), and thus gain valuable life skills that make a positive contribution to the future of the children and young people. If you feel you can help in this way, please email [email protected] to find out more.
