Our Mission!
At Recoil Youth, we’re committed to building a society where every young person can easily realise their potential and achieve their goals. We believe that providing children a nurturing environment is essential to their overall development. Today’s youth are tomorrow’s leaders, and through creating a wider awareness and understanding about ACEs and Child Exploitation; personalised attention and guidance we are essentially providing them with all the resources they need to thrive as leaders in years to come.
Our Aims
Recoil Youth are dedicated to raising the awareness of ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) and tackling Exploitation of young people. Through bespoke training for professionals and organisation; to ensuring services are available for BAME (Black Asian and Minority Ethnic) young people. That they are equal, inclusive and accessible; and that the issues of ACEs & Exploitation along with associated myths
and barriers and are addressed.
​
Our ethos and service user centred approach means we put the needs of young people we work with first by following their lead, building a positive relationship with them and providing information and support aiming to build resilience, understanding and lower their exploitation risk; and provide them with the skills
and resources needed to engage in safer behaviours, make safer choices and deal with the consequences of ACEs and Exploitation effectively.
​
Whilst working in partnership with other services and sharing safeguarding concerns appropriately we maintain our service user centred approach by acting as an advocate for the young people we work with, working in a way that promotes their welfare, champions their rights and respects their choices.
