Switch Up exists to empower young people, children and young adults to break the cycle of offending and reoffending. The charity uses tried and tested mentoring techniques along with physical training to engage young people in positive activity and to steer them away from the circle of crime and gang-criminality.
They deliver mentoring, counselling, accredited non-formal education, personal development workshops, and through-the-gate resettlement mentoring for young people serving custodial sentences. Through their programmes they help young people to reflect on their lives and to express positive targets for the future.
