FUNDED: Join Ken’s Cause: Transform Lives with SHINE’s Targeted Interventions

Dear Family and Friends,

As my birthday approaches, I invite you to support SHINE’s Targeted Interventions Programme, an initiative helping vulnerable at-risk children, youth, and their families.

SHINE offers preventive, early intervention, and remedial programmes to support youth who face challenges or have made mistakes, including:

GUIDANCE PROGRAMME (GP): A 6-month pre-court diversionary initiative for minor youth offenders, giving them a second chance to avoid prosecution

Youth Enhanced Supervision (YES): A 6-month support for youth under 21 arrested for drug use, combining monitoring and counselling to encourage recovery

THEFT INTERVENTION PROGRAMME (TIP): Group therapy for adolescents struggling with repeated theft, helping them understand their actions and change

TRIAGE: Identifies youth offenders early, guiding them away from the criminal system with focused intervention

YOUTH COP (Community Outreach Patrol): An award-winning programme reducing juvenile delinquency by creating youth crime-prevention leaders through school and police partnerships

ResiL!ence: A community-based mental health initiative for youth aged 12 to 25, promoting resilience, well-being, and recovery support through peer networks and caregiver involvement

Your donation could mean the difference between a young person being caught in a downward spiral or finding a path to hope and success.

By contributing to this programme, you’ll be investing in the potential of at-risk youth—giving them tools to build confidence, overcome obstacles, and create a brighter future.

Thank you for helping me make this birthday extra special—not just for me, but for the many young people whose lives can be transformed by your generosity.

Warmest regards,

Ken
