At Includem we work with society's most troubled and vulnerable young people. We’re there to help when young people are most at risk.
24 hours a day. Every single day of the year.
For some young people, life is a series of problems. They often feel completely alone, and can’t see any future at all. At Includem, we stick with each young person. We help them realise they can change their circumstances, and help them build a better life.
Includem, which is a charity, is built on five principles at the heart of everything we do. We’ve been working with young people in this way for 12 years now, and we have solid evidence to prove that our approach works. We believe the benefits are clear, not just for young people but for everyone in Scotland.
At Includem, we aim to show young people that life holds more opportunities than they realise.
This is why our practice toolkit for working with vulnerable and high-risk young people is called A Better Life.
Launched in 2010, and edited by youth justice expert Tim Chapman, our toolkit covers our Framework of Intervention – and sets out key ways of engaging with young people.
Includem Showcased as Inspiring Example of Good Practice Includem features in a case study report produced by Evaluation Support Scotland (ESS) that draws on formal research and face-to-face interviews with individuals from Scottish charities, who have responsibility for measuring the impact of their organisation’s work.
