Help CELLS educate our youths on the reality of crime

Hi! We are The Choices, Education, Learning, Lifelong Skills (CELLS) Project is a registered charity in Merseyside (Charity No: 1192651), based in Tower Hill, Kirkby. We work with children and young people (CYP) aiming to educate them on the consequences of crime and deter them from the cycle of criminal behaviour. The CELLS Project has provided services since 2009 to CYP as well as providing the team members with a new sense of purpose. Our team are made up of individuals from all walks of life, with our own lived experiences that we share, from ex-offenders, to victims of crime, university graduates and individuals interested in social change all committed to tackling crime and keeping children and vulnerable people safe.

We run multiple initiatives, one being our famous Crime and Behavioural Awareness programmes: Awareness sessions presented in schools teaching CYP about the consequences of crime through lived experience, our mentoring: 1-2-1 mentoring with a trained and qualified mentor who is relatable and won’t give up on you, Fix this Mess (FTM) Youth Club: A safe space for 8-12 year olds to come and make friends, have fun and enjoy activities planned and organised by our youth team and finally, Lean on Me: Our family support group and mentoring for parents and carers who need support, wether that be as they are worried about their child’s safety due to criminality in the local area, or if their family is affected by crime and behavioural problems in a different way.

As a charity we face difficulties in funding all of the initiatives in the way that we would like to, this is why we would massively appreciate any donations. These donations will be used to provide resources for skill and relationship building exercises and activities, support community outreach projects, and aid in maintaining the youth club which is an amazing opportunity for these CYP that otherwise wouldn’t have the chance to experience. Through donating to our charity, you will be supporting the development of CYP and helping to contribute to their personal growth. Your donations will provide new and exciting activities and opportunities for the kids and make them excited to attend youth group and connect with their friends, getting them off the street and into a welcoming space. By investing in CELLS, you are helping shape the future generations by guiding the CYP into responsible and mature adults.

Thankyou!
