The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.in2change.org\/\">In2Change<\/a> centre is one of the reasons for this improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded 18 years ago, the centre delivers interventions and programmes to help prevent young people from a life of crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In2Change Founder and Centre Manager, Brian Wreakes said: &#8220;It&#8217;s a perfect centre to distract them from getting involved in crime.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Our Centre Manager Brian working hard to secure funding for our young persons project preparing and packaging afternoon teas for care homes <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/nz72TZg4YP\">pic.twitter.com\/nz72TZg4YP<\/a><\/p>&mdash; In2Change South Yorkshire (@In2Change_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/In2Change_\/status\/1683809606387093504?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 25, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Wreakes said the centre is designed for education, with the ongoing need to raise awareness for all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added: &#8220;We educate young people in crime awareness but also offer vocational skills in beauty, fitness and nutrition, and music and recording.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reoffending rate in South Yorkshire for ex-offenders was lower than the national average across England and Wales, which stood at 26.3% in 2022\/23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But In2Change&#8217;s figures are even better, with less than 9% of the 34 ex-offenders and serving prisoners the charity has worked with going onto re-offend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, 10 of the 34 went onto gain full time employment within the charity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Wreakes said: &#8220;The people who deliver the programmes have got to be the right people. They have got to be lived experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Our mission is that we work with ex-offenders and serving prisoners to support rehabilitation by offering placements and employment.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest figures highlight the need for intervention at earlier ages than ever before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The highest age group for re-offending across the country was 15 to 17-year-olds at 33.8%, followed by the 10 to 14-year-old age group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/media\/6793cee6e863a0e7724f4b41\/figure4.svg\" alt=\"Figures from the Ministry of Justice proven reoffending statistics (January to March 2023)\" title=\"Figures from the Ministry of Justice proven reoffending statistics (January to March 2023)\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>National figures from the Ministry of Justice proven reoffending statistics (January to March 2023)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In2Change externally delivers crime intervention programmes to schools, colleges and universities to tackle this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These programmes include theatrical sets for the delivery of role play, which Mr Wreakes said delivers a stronger message than just a DVD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Wreakes said: &#8220;It is not about scaring kids, it is about educating them.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sheffield charity supports improvement in juvenile reoffending figures for 2022\/23.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":712,"featured_media":62927,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17,27,21],"tags":[64,57,15,38,141,1652],"class_list":["post-62902","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-charity","category-crime","category-news","tag-charity","tag-crime","tag-news","tag-sheffield","tag-sheffield-city-council","tag-young-people"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
