Our fundraising campaign
The Life Skills Academy is the culmination of the experience, passion, creativity and drive from all those who access the service, who work with and for the charity and our supporters.
I never thought about relationships before. It was only when it all went wrong and I got help at The Relationships Centre that I knew the answer
Jack, aged 13 and in care
Everyone is sharing in their commitment and desire, to create a resource that is bold, enterprising and enables young people to be the architects and builders of their future.
The Academy will offer a range of services for young people at risk of running away, family support services, tailored learning and employment programmes for young people leaving care plus apprenticeships and employment opportunities.
I left home after hearing my step dad threatened me again. I didn't know what to do. I went to my friend's house and this man took me to a place and I got hurt.
Thanks to The Relationships Centre I got help and learned that people can, and do, exploit and hurt you.
Samira, aged 15
Every year 100,000 children and young people run away from home. 5,000 under age girls who run away or have run away are sexually exploited. We know there is a problem and we are ready to help. We have trained workers who can make sure others like Jack and Samira get the help they need.
But we can't do this without your support.
Act now!
With your donation you can keep Jack and Samira safe.
