On Thursday 28th November, Children and Young People Now held their 19th annual Awards to recognise and celebrate innovation and good practice in services that support children, young people, and their families across the UK.
Here at LifeLine, we were proud to see our own SW!TCH Futures work be one of only five programmes that were shortlisted for the Early Intervention Award for effective preventative work with at-risk young people.
LifeLine CEO Nathan Singleton attended the awards event in Hammersmith on behalf of the SW!TCH team.
SW!TCH Futures supports young through a combination of regular one-to-one mentoring in schools to provide guidance and a wide array of activities in the community to provide a positive outlet for their energy. Together, these allow a young person to gain confidence, improve their wellbeing, and form new positive relationships with both trusted adults and their peers.
While we’re disappointed that SW!TCH Futures did not ultimately win the Early Intervention Award, we’d like to offer our sincere congratulations to winners Khulisa and their Face It programme!
We’re already well-acquainted with the work of Khulisa supporting young people in schools across London, with their Face It programme providing therapeutic support for the wellbeing of young people with complex needs. Khulisa truly deserve to be recognised for their great work and we hope they continue to support young people for many more years to come!
