NEETS at Risk

Supporting and understanding youth at risk.

Those who have lived experience of the prison system are disengaged from communities.

Loss of connection with a positive purpose.

The project engaged those inside the prison aged 18-25.

Matthew “Ollie” Ollerton, ex-SAS, presented his journey of PTSD and pathway to becoming a part of the SAS working with our services.

This project engaged NEETS in prison, prison officers and businesses.

Our outcomes were small but significant.

The day created empathy for the NEETS and at the same time connected with the youth in prison.

10 turned up and stayed for the whole day.

PTSD was identified, and some reached out for support within the prison.

We will continue to explore how we can engage and support this group.
