Story
Help us this year to change the lives of 10 children......
All children from our residential in 2021 (video below) are doing exceptionally well in further education and they are safe.
Why is this so expensive you may be asking?
We provide incredible residential experiences for the children who are often at risk within their local communities. Our experiences are curated to provide children with a counter-narrative as to what is possible. They are provided a week of life-changing experiences and we ensure that they have the best of everything for 7 days.
The Liminality Group work with children and young people aged 10-18 with the principal aim of changing the trajectory of children who are at risk of exploitation and those most at risk of becoming involved in criminality. We achieve this by providing crime diversion programmes within schools, access to work experience for children during non-term time periods and providing residential trips.
We have just finished delivering our early intervention and prevention school programme (Engage, Influence and Inspire) to ten boys and girls in years 9 and 10. These children have already begun to show significant changes in their thinking and behaviour. However, these are the children who need support during the non-term time to remain safe and prevent those within local communities from accessing them for criminal, exploitative or sexual purposes.
So why is this important? We deliver services within custodial institutions to children sentenced for various offences. 95% of the children we work with have been excluded from school and often state that they had no real support during the non-term time periods of school. Had they had support, some believe that along with other interventions, this may have changed their trajectory.
We need your help to provide a safe space for them to have fun, learn, be challenged, grow and experience a week of psychological freedom. The residential will take place in the Lake District and Scotland over 7 days this year.
We begin in London with our 6 male and female staff collecting all children from their school;
We drive to the Lake District for four days of activities, crime diversion sessions, fitness and curated life-changing teachable moments;
We drive to a remote area in Scotland for another 2-day activity experience;
We will spend time on a friend’s beautiful private estate learning about how the estate is maintained and providing the children with alternative life experiences for their futures;
All administration, transportation, staff salaries, breakfast, lunch, dinner, clothing, activities, and excursions will be covered.
No donation is too small or too big, everything helps. Please click on the link below to see our trip from last year.
