We want to help 10 young Lambeth residents to create new lives that are free of the anxieties and repercussions that crime so often brings with it. We will help them find new ways of thinking that will lead to more positive and productive lives.
'Listening 2 Lambeth' is the project that will help to make that a reality for these 10 young people, together with your help.
By supporting this campaign, you will be involved in making a difference, in changing a life, that in turn will change many more.
The Reasons Why Foundation reduces re-offending by empowering young people to understand what has motivated them to offend and to explore alternatives. We are a team of carefully selected people, who are inspirational examples of change and who are fully committed to the core values that underpin our work. Our Core Values are: everyone matters, trust & respect, listening & learning, support & empathy and change is always possible.
The experience that informs our work goes back 28 years and we learn more every day. We know at The Reasons Why Foundation, that by listening to the people we support, we learn what it is that they need in order to make the necessary changes in their lives to overcome the multiple and diverse challenges that they face.
We do this because our team all understand that we are equal and although some of us have made choices that have caused negative impact to ourselves and others, this doesn't mean that we matter any less.
This matters to us because we see every day what a difference it makes in the lives of the people we support.
Our programme of support helps young people turn away from crime. This saves the UK tax payers in excess of £50,000 per year for every single person we support that doesn't return to crime, while helping to make our streets safer places for all of us
Please help us to make this happen.
