St Giles
Berkeley Capital started working with St Giles in September 2022 to support its flagship services helping children and young people involved in or at risk of child criminal exploitation.
St Giles helps young people who are criminally exploited through gangs, serious violence and offending stay safe and make positive choices. The partnership with Berkeley Capital will support St Giles to provide these services in Newham and Southwark through offering both preventative work in schools and direct interventions for young people already involved or at risk of becoming so.
St Giles’s approach uses specially trained professionals who all have first-hand experience of the issues facing the young people they support. It uses a mix of their professional skills and first-hand experiences to equip young people with the ability to think critically, make informed choices and build resilience to the risks of grooming and exploitation. Caseworkers offer intensive practical and emotional support to those already involved or on the cusp of becoming so.
