MDR ARE ON A QUEST

MDR ARE ON A QUEST TO REFORM YOUNG PEOPLE AND TO TREAT THEM AS INDIVIDUALS WITH RESPECT FOR THEIR OPINIONS.

Our work is directed to improve and decrease the crime figures that we see today; this is different from the youth schemes at present, as they are not expected to and so present no measure for their contribution to crime prevention.  Instead, what we see today is a place for the youth to ‘play and socialise' which is great for their communication and confidence skills.  But this seems to be resulting in cuts to funding youth work.

The goal of the program is to identify youths who are going to have a turbulent transition from childhood to adulthood and to offer a positive support system to avoid the pitfalls that can derail their lives, something that they may not be receiving within their own homes.
