About Us

 

Reflex exist to empower children, young people and young adults to break the cycle of offending and re-offending.

 

Through our Urban Skillz Music and Theatre Programmes, Life Skills workshops and Outreach projects, we work with over 4,000 young people every year in Young Offenders Institutes and alongside Youth Offending Teams.

Reflex equip young people with the skills and opportunities they need to overcome barriers they face and achieve their full potential. Each of our programmes offer young people a platform of skills from which to express their feelings, thoughts and emotions positively and to grow in confidence.

Our dedicated Outreach Workers provide a platform for informal learning, building positive relationships with young people, modelling acceptable behaviour and helping them access appropriate services that support their transition to adulthood.

Our non-formal education tutors are established urban artists who deliver tailor-made programmes embedded with proven learning techniques. Regardless of the creative medium used, each Reflex programme is designed to develop young people’s creative thinking, helping them to reflect on life experiences and challenging their negative attitudes.

Whether young peoples’ needs are, social, emotional, spiritual, intellectual or physical, we offer a holistic range of support where every young person is valued and respected as an individual.

We believe every young person has potential : We believe every young person can be empowered to change : We believe every young person can make a difference
