Summer youth work appeal 2011
APPEAL LATEST: Academics praise our youth project at St.Thomas' Hospital!
Protect young people at risk this summer. This summer we’re facing a real problem and we need your help. The funding for some of our summer youth work programmes has been cut.
Programmes that people like Tom, one of the Oasis youth workers based in St Thomas’ A&E department, desperately need for Oasis' work with young people to succeed.
We know our summer projects work
The police tell us that where we run them, youth crime and violence drops significantly
- 20% in some cases. We desperately need to keep our sports, art and music activities
running this summer; they’re lifelines that show young people a more positive way to live.
Ensure we can keep going
It’s always been hard to help everyone who needs us, particularly in the summer when
so many of our supporters and volunteers are away. We are deeply concerned about
what the future holds for these young people if we are forced to cut more projects.
Over 200 young people where Tom works will be affected by cuts this summer this alone.
