“Building positive relationships and giving young people the best possible life experiences”
“We provide outreach and detached support across the Estates and outdoor spaces in Bow, utilising MUGA (Multi-Use Games Areas), outdoor green spaces, and local play areas. In addition, we make referrals to other relevant services and programs to meet the diverse needs of young people from all backgrounds and experiences.
Our outreach workers are skilled and experienced in supporting young people through a variety of challenges. They offer tailored information, guidance, and advice, helping young people improve their lives, make informed decisions, and reach their full potential. We organise workshops on important topics, including crime prevention, the law, stop-and-search practices, local knife crime concerns, anti-social behaviour, and much more. Through these workshops, we collaborate with young people to explore practical solutions and create a safer, more secure environment for everyone.
Our dedicated youth workers empower all young people to make positive, informed choices about their lifestyles. We provide access to a wide range of lifelong learning opportunities and experiences, helping young people build the skills, confidence, and independence they need to work toward a brighter future.”
Outreach Projects
Ocean Youth Connexions outreach workers are the first point of contact within the Bow West and Bow East Area. Our outreach workers provide a detached service to the local young people in the two areas, keeping them positively engaged in local activities, youth centres and youth provisions. Our outreach workers are integral parts within the community and we specialise in supporting young people of all ages.
We will continue to work alongside the local MET Outreach and Youth Engagement Officers on an engagement project. We have offered young people opportunities to own a stolen and recovered bike through our bike mechanic course. We have organised a role reversal workshop, participated in a Police Community football tournament and assisted in identifying ASBO areas for youth intervention. We also are working with the Neighbouring Patrol Officers, Tower Hamlets Homes ASB team lead and Housing Association residents to make their residential areas safe, peaceful and youth engaging.
