About Us

What we do

So, what are Full Effect’s aims? We have a passion to empower young people to engage their peers and communities in the issues that matter most to them whilst developing key skills, aspirations, industry networks and employment opportunities.

How do we do this? By offering Early Intervention programmes and building a wider support network for Young People:

Early intervention

Early intervention for primary and secondary aged children, working with teachers to identify those at risk of violent or criminal behaviour and provide them and their families with intensive support both in school and through community based diversionary activities.

Building a wider support network

To build a generation of aspirational young leaders in St Ann’s, helping them to create alternatives to violence and criminal behaviour. The young leaders will receive training to acquire formal qualifications as well as benefit from internships in London and Nottingham, and apprenticeships to give them a track record of work experience. In time, these young leaders will mentor and support the next generation.

Full Effect Vision

Our overriding ambition is to be known as experts in the positive engagement of the community of St Ann’s and Sneinton, for we see potential in young people, not problems. We want to continue to deliver and develop the Full Effect model reducing the numbers of young people involved in youth violence and gangs and support them to positive futures. To achieve this aim, Epic and CRS will work in partnership to ensure an innovative and effective programme for children from 8 to 25 years old.

Our aim for the future is to build on the project’s successes, implement necessary changes and ensure the project has longevity and is recognised as one that is invaluable to the local communityof St Ann’s and Sneinton, and we are, to quote one of our main advocates, Nottingham Academy, “champions of the young people who are most at risk”.
