Includem Launch Short-Film
A Better Life, is Includem’s short-film about Steven, referred to Includem aged fourteen whilst in residential care. Steven was going off the rails regularly involved in gang related violence fuelled by drugs and alcohol. The film tells Steven’s story, in his own words, about the support he received from Includem. He talks about how he got his life back together and back home living with his mum, instead of the bleak alternative -‘If I hadn’t had Includem I probably would have just ended up in Secure [care]'.
On the 19th February NESTA in conjunction with the Observer newspaper published a list of Britain’s 50 New Radicals – and Includem were one of them! The accolade recognises inspirational organisations that are improving the lives of people and organisations in radical and creative ways. We are delighted to have been chosen as one of the radicals as it recognises the fantastic work our staff do with young people across Scotland.
Includem is a Scottish charity with 11 years of evidence based experience and a track record in providing a powerful one to one relationship-based service to hundreds of young people, when they are most at risk.
The young people we work with are already outside of the normal safety zone that most of us take for granted. School, parents, friends, police - they are more alone than anyone could imagine. Includem is often the last chance. That’s why Includem staff are available 24/7, in person, not just on the end of the phone.
