Detached Work

Young people often find themselves the focus of attention and criticism as they gather in a highly visible way.  Their desire to hang around together, along with the fact that the activities they enjoy often involve a degree of noise and boisterousness, can bring them into conflict with the adults in the community. They may lack any legitimate means to afford the use of leisure facilities, the costs of which are often prohibitive to young people.  Plus, for various reasons they may feel that organised youth provision is not for them. Not all of these young people are involved in criminal activity, although their raucous behaviour may encourage residents to seek support from the Police.  However, some are involved in crime and anti-social behaviour which can have serious repercussions for themselves and those around them.

25 Years of Youthwise

 

Lord MayorYouthwise is a detached youth work project. It was one of the first of its type, in Birmingham, established in 1985 as a result of an initiative by the B3 Police and Community Consultative Committee. At the time many young people were choosing not to attend the limited number of clubs and organisations that existed for them. They were choosing to gather in groups on the street and in public spaces. However, it was clear that most of these young people were not involved in crime. So in conjunction with the police a way was sought to reach out to these young people in order that they might get support, have access to fun and exciting activities, and be constructively engaged.

 

To mark this achievement and the achievements of some of the young people we have been working with over the last year we held a 25th anniversary celebration at Kings Heath Cricket Club on February 18th 2011 at 7pm, for young people, families and friends of the charity. Both the local MP and Lord Mayor were in attendance.
