Changing young people's lives by building their resilience and helping them make better choices.
Some people have a head start in life because they were lucky enough to grow up in a situation where life was slightly easier and the people around them were strong and supportive. Others may have faced obstacles that affect their ability to cope with difficult situations, such as disability, trauma, abuse or neglect. At Transform we spend our time and energy supporting these individuals. This is where the need is great. This is where the outcomes are dramatic and life changing.
Why the community needs usYoung people who can't manage their feelings get into all sorts of difficulties. They often don't go to school and get barred from youth clubs. They are seen as anti-social and they get a bad reputation. We work with them to take control of their choices and to help them take part in community events through volunteering. It makes a big difference in a community if a young person who has been causing problems becomes a young person who is a contributing citizen.
Our impact on the community
We need volunteers to help with all different aspects of running our small organisation. You can get involved in admin, fundraising, youth work, training and all sorts of other things.
