The Safety Box Youth Service Programme aims to empower and optimise the potential of young people. Our courses cover the ages of 8 – 21, with the priority age range being between 13 -19.
Our courses provide a wide range of ongoing term time and holiday activities for young people in youth centres or youth groups found within communities.
Our Focus
Developing good relationships and respecting the differences between people:
• about the effects of all types of stereotyping, prejudice, bullying, racism and discrimination and how to challenge them assertively
• how to empathise with people different from themselves
• about the nature of friendship and how to make and keep friends
• to recognise that goodwill is essential to positive and constructive relationships
• to negotiate within relationships, recognising that actions have consequences, and when and how to make compromises
Developing a healthy, safer lifestyle
We teach participants:
• to use assertiveness skills to resist unhelpful pressure
• to have a sense of their own identity and present themselves confidently in a range of situations
• to be aware of how others see them, manage praise and criticism, and success and failure in a positive way and learn from the experience
Developing good relationships and respecting the differences between people
We teach participants:

• to work cooperatively with a range of people who are different from themselves
• to deal with changing relationships in a positive way, showing goodwill to others and using strategies to resolve disagreements peacefully
• about the diversity of different ethnic groups and the power of prejudice
