As part of his ongoing commitment to supporting local charities and increasing their exposure, Sir Robert Buckland has chosen the Swindon Youth Justice Service as his latest “Charity of the Week.”
During Operation Sceptre, Sir Robert aims to shine a spotlight on the incredible work carried out by this organisation and emphasise the crucial role played by volunteers in achieving positive outcomes for young offenders.
The Swindon Youth Justice Service has a clear mission: to prevent children and young people from engaging in criminal activities and help them avoid re-offending. Their focus lies in providing the necessary support and guidance for young individuals who have committed offenses, assisting them in becoming valued and productive members of society while also mending the harm they may have caused. This comprehensive service operates in collaboration with various organizations, employing a multidisciplinary approach to achieve their goals.
One of the driving forces behind the success of the Swindon Youth Justice Service is the dedicated team of volunteers who actively contribute to the positive development of young offenders. These volunteers undergo comprehensive training, receive regular supervision, and are appraised to the same high standards as the service’s employed staff. By offering their time and expertise, these volunteers gain valuable life skills while making a significant impact on the future of children and young people within the community.
