Reach and Unite Outreach and Empowerment
A Place for Every Child
We provide an accessible and inclusive service with the aim to create a place for every child. We do this by adapting how we deliver activities to meet the needs of all young people that attend. Our therapeutic approach and all activities are strategically planned to promote social skills, improve resilience, reinforce positive behaviour, develop a sense of social responsibility, and improve confidence, self-belief, emotional well-being, and independence.
After-School Club
Our fully inclusive Ofsted registered after-school club provides young people between the ages of 8-16 years old with a safe and enriching environment that is constantly adapted to meet the needs of ALL young people. Young people are supported with therapeutic practitioners and offered a range of structured activities. We believe all children should have opportunities to make friends, experience new activities and have fun.
Our holiday club provision is not exclusive to but is designed to support a range of complex needs such as autism, ADHD, social, emotional, and mental health difficulties, disabilities, looked after children and those on social care plans. We operate between Monday -Friday during school holidays from 9am - 3pm, providing a mixture of indoor and outdoor activities chosen by young people. We work with up to 65 young people each day between the ages of 8-16 years.
Childcare
At RUOE, we value social justice, believing no young person should face inequalities due to their background or needs. Statistics show that parents of children with additional needs struggle with employment, largely due to a lack of inclusive childcare. We these inequalities by offering childcare and emotional support for all young people.
Gang Intervention
Wolves4 Change, developed by James Gwilt, empowers at youth through trauma-informed mentoring, including structured, peer, and group support from mentors with lived experiences. Our program aims to foster positive behavior change and support those affected by exploitation and anti-social behaviors.
Therapeutic Intervensions
RUOE acknowledges the challenges that unequal access to resources creates for young people and families, affecting their confidence and well-being. As a community-focused organization, we prioritize listening to community voices to solutions for marginalized youth. With secured funding, we are thrilled to offer FREE services such as talking therapy, after-school activities, and gang intervention through mentoring
