This project targets young people aged 17 to 25 arrested for knife possession and awaiting court charges. By providing support and interventions during this period, we aim to prevent further offenses. Focusing on those released under investigation or on Police Bail, we collaborate with various agencies to offer comprehensive assistance, helping them transition from youth to adult systems. Our goal is to reduce drug and knife-related crime in Essex, change behaviours and mindsets about serious youth violence, and encourage long-term, positive lifestyle choices to create safer communities.

Brief

The VVU tasked RANCH with creating 4 films aimed at both stakeholders and the general public to showcase the great work they are currently doing supporting young people who are being, or at risk of being, exploited and involved in crime, with a particular focus on drugs, gangs and knife crime.  

Approach

Use authentic voices telling real stories on the ground to indirectly showcase the great work done by programs run and funded by VVU, we interviewed real support staff and young people that attend these groups and services to understand the positive impact it has made on their lives.

Results

This long running project saw us visit 6 highly inspirational groups and services around the county, delivering 18+ docu-style video assets utilised across multiple VVU channels.
