October gang prevention targeted activities evenings for 12-18 year olds

---

During the October half term, RUOE hosted a gang intervention and prevention programme alongside Wolves 4 Change, a local Christian organisation dedicated to reducing gang involvement amongst young people. ​

---

The programme consisted of activities that aimed to develop ambition and teach young people between the ages of 12 and 18 new skills. 

Activities on the programme included: 
1. Media Classes, photography, videography and editing skills
2. Money-Managing and Budgeting Workshops, with a guest speaker who discussed valuable assets, credit ratings and the importance of having a job to be able to attain those valuable assets. 
3. DY Skills, mixing and production of beats
4. Commonwealth Games Sports Session, which was attended by a scout for West Bromwich Albion, who looked out for talented young people who may be offered places on sports courses at Sandwell College. 
5. Movie, met the fantastic cast of the movie called "Tale of the Fatherless", which led to the discussion of knife crime and growing up without a father. 

At the end of the activities, access to Mentors and safe spaces were granted to all of the young people who attended.
