Making The Change Limited
(UK, 1127567) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00Making The Change was founded as a pilot project to provide support to 16-18 year old young offenders who had completed the custodial part of their sentence. The intention was to help prevent repeat offending, and allow young men to become active contributing members of the community. Support was provided in a residential setting. Making The Change was founded as a pilot project to provide support to 16-18 year old young offenders who had completed the custodial part of their sentence. The intention was to help prevent repeat offending, and allow young men to become active contributing members of the community. Support was provided in a residential setting. In 2010, the trustees identified suitable premises and in January 2011, Brent Knoll House in Bristol was opened. The house was run with dedicated staff, who provided support to the young men whilst they were resident in the house, and in some cases, in the time following their departure. The trustees commissioned an independent report on the project to be carried out by the University of Gloucestershire. The project has the full support of the Chief Constable and Police and Crime Commissioner for Avon and Somerset. When the project was established, the Youth Justice Board agreed to provide a grant for three years, representing approximately 45% of the running costs. The trustees were able to raise the remaining costs from companies, charitable trusts and individual donations, and had considerable local support. In February 2013, the Youth Justice Board, with only six weeks notice terminated the grant agreement with effect from 31 March 2013, nine months before the completion of the three year project. The project was able to continue until 31 August 2013, using funds which the Trustees had raised. However the premature withdrawal of the Youth Justice Board grant meant that the Trustees were unable to complete the pilot project as planned. The Trustees do not consider that they have received from the Youth Justice Board a full and satisfactory explanation of why they chose to curtail the grant early. They are particularly disappointed that the success of the project and hard work that they and the staff had put into the project appeared to be ignored by the Youth Justice Board. The successful progress of the project had been recognised in the interim report from the University of Gloucestershire, which had been shared with the Youth Justice Board. The Trustees would like to thank all those who have supported their attempt to find a way of reducing re-offending by young people.

Maybe your assistance could help to fund building a toilet block or refurbish a school. In return for your support the charity will ensure that you receive regular updates and pictures. Please contact us if you would like to register as a fundraiser; we will be happy to send you a selection of projects to choose from and give advice on fundraising ideas. Inking About Africa was set up originally to allow people to recycle ink cartridges with the funds raised being used to help children in Africa. The charity quickly gained a positive reputation for the excellent work achieved and our supporters began asking for alternative ways to donate or fundraise for the charity. This led us to expand "Inking About Africa", a recycling charity, to encompass many other forms of fundraising. Setting up a "Virgin Money Giving" page is just one of the ways we have been able to give more people the chance to help us make a difference. Every penny really will help so please donate or fundraise and together we can help to educate the children of The Gambia.
