Recently, our team at HM YOI Werrington delivered a powerful session focused on understanding and managing stress.

We created a safe space for young people to open up about the pressures they face—both within the custodial environment and in the community. Through honest conversation and reflection, they explored how stress can impact thoughts, emotions, and decision-making.

To finish, each young person created their own personalised “stress toolkit”—a set of strategies and reminders they can take back to their pads and use when they need support. From breathing techniques to positive distractions, these toolkits are small but meaningful steps toward building resilience and self-awareness.

We’re proud of the engagement shown and the willingness to reflect and grow✨✨✨

An update from our team at YOI Styal ❤️❤️❤️ Great work guys!!!

This week the young adults at Styal got involved in a debate-based session to mark Stephen Lawrence Day, as well as a session on credit scores, loans and mortgages. They also took part in making DIY spa treatments, such as face masks and bath bombs, with household ingredients like yogurt and honey.

The Equality & Inclusion Lead at another YOI visited Styal to see what Kinetic does here and was so impressed with some of the content we delivered that she asked to be sent it so she could replicate it at her establishment 🥳🥳🥳

Some mindfulness colouring by our young people at YOI Feltham 🤩🎨🖌️✨

Mindfulness isn’t about having a perfectly calm mind — it’s about noticing what’s happening right now without getting lost in it.
Take a breath.

Feel your feet on the ground.

Let this moment be enough.

You don’t need to fix everything today — just be here. 🌿

An update from our team at YOI Stirling 🤩🤩

Our young people kicked off the month with a colourful coaster‑painting session, designing their own unique pieces to take home. The creativity was flowing, and the results were amazing.

But that was just the start. Throughout the month we also explored some powerful and important themes:

🍃 Alcohol & Substance Awareness  Young people took part in engaging discussions and activities to build knowledge, confidence, and safer decision‑making skills.

🤝 Healthy Friendships & Relationships  While making friendship bracelets, we talked about what healthy relationships look like—kindness, boundaries, respect, and support.

🤡 Red Nose Day Social Action Project  Everyone got stuck in painting red noses to raise awareness and spread joy for a great cause.

🌼 Staff Appreciation Day  Young people created “compliment flowers” to show gratitude to the staff team—such a wholesome moment.

💆 Wellbeing Spa Night  We wrapped up the month with a relaxing spa‑themed evening focused on self‑care, calm, and connection

🎉🤩🌟 We’re finalists! 🌟🤩🎉

Kinetic Youth has been shortlisted for the Health & Wellbeing Award at Scotland’s National Youth Work Awards from .

From Polmont to Stirling, our teams work hard to create safe, supportive spaces where young people can talk, grow and feel genuinely valued. Hearing a young person describe us as “a breath of fresh air” and “hugely positive” is the biggest recognition we could ask for.

We’re so proud of our teams — and even prouder of the young people who shape everything we do.

Our youth workers delivered a powerful and reflective session at HM YOI Werrington. The young people took time to look back on their childhoods, thinking about who they once dreamed of becoming and the ambitions they held when they were younger✨✨✨✨

From there, the session shifted focus to the future—exploring what inspires them now, what drives them forward, and the possibilities that still lie ahead.

It was a meaningful conversation about identity, growth, and hope. Creating space for reflection like this helps young people reconnect with their sense of purpose and begin to shape a more positive vision for their future.

This was a reminder to our young people that the direction they are heading is more important than their current position. We’re proud to support these journeys and to continue building opportunities for young people to reflect, grow, and be inspired.

Some recent work delivered by our staff in HMYOI Werrington 🤞🏼🤞🏼

One of the activities invited the young people to write letters to their younger selves- a chance to pause, look back, and share the lessons they’ve learned along the way. The honesty, insight, and courage shown in these letters was incredibly moving. Many spoke about choices, growth, and the importance of believing that change is possible.

They also looked forward. Through guided reflection, the young people explored what they want their futures to look like- their goals, hopes, and the kind of life they want to build. These conversations were full of ambition, resilience, and a real desire to do things differently.

Creating space for reflection like this is so important. It allows young people to make sense of their experiences, recognise their strengths, and begin to shape a more positive path ahead.

We’re proud of every young person who took part and grateful to our staff for creating a safe, supportive environment where these conversations can happen ✨🤞🏼🫶🏼

We have just started a new enrichment contract at HMP Hewell, an adult establishment in Worcestershire.

Our team visited Hewell this week to do focus groups with young people on those house blocks that will be the target of our contract.

Starting 13/01/2026, we will be delivering board game groups, aiming to impact up to 60 prisoners a day. This will continue for 2 weeks to make Kinetics visible and gather feedback from the men we will be working with for future planning, as we want to ensure our projects are co-produced.

Next, we are planning to deliver Art activities (most requested) and music activities (2nd preference).

Here are some examples of work we hope to recreate with our gents➡️➡️

We are excited to get stuck in 😀❤️

Wetherby weekly update:

This week we’ve had a focus again on goal setting and planning futures for some of the young people on our segregation unit and those with upcoming release dates. These sessions were received well, and some officers even took part as shown with the pink worksheets. The young people worked well to look back on their behaviours and how they want to improve themselves going forward. We also had one young person who had a family visit and invited some workers to meet their family whilst they played the golf simulator and learnt a bit about their time in Wetherby.. overall, it has been a positive week full of reflecting and planning!

Great work guys as always ❤️
