Aims

Our mission is to give individually tailored support to those young people most at risk of entering the justice system, to help them develop the skills and self-esteem they need to improve their life chances and life choices.

The Foundation is established to address the helplessness, suffering and distress of at risk or otherwise vulnerable youth, including those:

• suffering social or economic dysfunction
• in poverty
• with behavioural patterns resulting from dysfunction
• with learning disabilities
• with mental or physical disabilities; and
• within minority or disadvantaged communities.
