About Us: 'Encouraging Positive Social Values In Youths'...
Community services
Our vision
This non-profit organization was launched in July 2014. Our aim is to encourage positive social values in youths and communities. We are currently based at TNG Youth and Community center at 111 Wells Park Road, Sydenham SE26 6AD.
All our activities are community and family-based and are geared towards encouraging and creating positive social values in our young people. Without the community fundraising efforts and generous donations, we would not be able to create visual awareness through our yearly anti-knife crime poster competition, events, and projects.
All the money raised goes directly into our community and we are truly thankful for all the help. Workshops are ongoing in schools regarding mindfulness towards each other, highlighting the consequences of carrying knives. Yearly events collaborate with varied organisation, tackling isolations and sharing ongoing avenues of growth and support for all ages.
Volunteers are welcome to join us in making a difference of care in our communities. All of May is an awareness platform used to sensitised the public about the consequences' of carry knives and support victims voices. One minute silence is held on May 31st 11:00am in unity and schools and varied organisations are invited to develop a session of visual creation leading up to the 31st.
Reviews From School Workshop most recent July 2023
"This was a deeply successful workshop where the children were engaged and entertained throughout. The workshop really looked at issues related to young people that supported the children in making choices and understanding consequences. Thank you so much for coming in"
"The workshop was very engaging, current and age appropriate.The students enjoyed it very much and find the information given relevant since it relates to their wellbeing and appropriate strategies to deal with societal challenges"
"I will suggest that more time should be given to hands on collaborative activities"..
"A child in year 6 who was chosen to take part in the suggestions section and was able to demonstrate the conversation. He found the assembly incredibly engaging and usually struggles around bigger groups of people.
The book presented to each child was very inspirational. I was approached by a parent who read the book their child took home and was very impressed with its contents".
"I believe there were already some follow up workshops available but maybe these could be done with individual classes on the day after the assembly.
I enjoyed the positive and honest interaction. Also, the opportunity to ask questions and helping the children understand the importance of peace when faced with challenges in your honest answers".
"We will be publishing a small article in our term newsletter to parents and will be referencing the brilliant work that the James Ross Hunter Foundation do. Colett - it really is testament to the impact you have that so many of our boys (and indeed our staff) vividly remember hearing you speak before at previous events and I hope that we can work with you again in the future."...Forest Hills Schools
"To see the children sitting so quietly and listening so intently is a testament to the strengths and delivery of the workshop .... what a positive experience it was and that they defiantly have more understanding of stop and search procedures."..... New Woodland School
"The workshop was very effective and was pitched at an appropriate level for the children. I like the way Collette used interactive activities to get the children thinking about managing their emotions. The children were clearly moved by her personal story, sensitively told". St Michaels CE School, Sydenham London

Testimonials
" Another pleasure to support my dear friend Collet with amazing charity @jamesrosshunteryouthsupport . I created a winter wonderland stage competed with falling snow effect for an amazing show of talent. The show was a true demonstration of people’s positivity, hope and a communities response to the terrible knife crimes on the streets affecting our youths. Colette told me a very moving story of when she first moved to London from Jamaica with her sons and James, who sadly is no loner with us, saw snow falling for the first time said “mum is it dangerous” a few later he was to become a victim of knife crime whilst trying to save someone else " ....
