About Us
In 2004 I was inspired to set up (ELSC) recognizing the increasing
problems and high levels of social exclusion and criminal activity among young
people. As an ex-gang memeber myself I understood that the needs far outweigh
the local provision, meaning that access to services are extremely limited.
Our aim is to promote a holistic approach, which looks at the individual and
their needs in totality, rather than in isolated chunks.
Our support sessions allow individuals to express concerns, identify achievable goals, and help identify their qualities, strengths, weaknesses and motivation. Our sessions also provides positive influences for young people and parents who may need a little extra attention or who do not have a good support system available to them.
ELSC place particular emphasis on providing a service where young people who are involved in gang activities, re-offending, drugs, gun/knife crime can come together and be supported in a safe environment which enables them to address their issues as well as steering away those who may be at risk of becoming involved in such activities. It is very much ELSC’s aim to promote a sense of community among our young people. Through group activities, our young people develop a spirit of co-operation and social concern as well as a perceptive understanding of the communities they live in. Particular emphasis is placed on tolerance and understanding among our young people and the community they live in with differing racial and cultural backgrounds.
Since setting up ELSC we have been overwhelmed with the vast amount of young people that has come through our doors. The majority of our young people have walked in on their own accord; this has shown us that there are many young people that are looking for a way out of gang life, criminal activity and many more issues that they face.
