Caring Christmas Trees - Paisley

The Kibble Centre is the largest multi-service centre in the United Kingdom specialising in work with young people at risk. It provides community outreach, residential care, secondary education, intensive fostering, secure care and employment training for care leavers delivered through a portfolio of social enterprises. Young people come here because they need specialist support and stability. But that is only the beginning of the story

Kibble was founded in 1857 by a charitable bequest from Miss Elizabeth Kibble, who died in 1841. Being at Kibble is all about change, growth and development; maturing, learning and social responsibility. For young people, Kibble provides a place of safety, structure and stability, opening up new possibilities to play a useful part in society and prepare them for a happy and fulfilled adult life.

Where are the kids that are being encouraged to reach hlgher to go through the university process to gain a future with a career and not just the usual suspects of manual jobs.

I wish this was around in the 80's, unfortunately the care process was more like warehousing till you could be dumped in a bedsit or a sinkhole council estate, i hope the value of real education and not worthless modules/NVQ's that acheive nothing in the eyes of an employer, also i hope that real effort is being made to make kids aware of the full and real consequences of criminality such as a bar on international travel as well as many kinds employment oppertunities denied for life.
