Why ACYCLE is different

Building resillience In Young People

ACYCLE is unique in it’s own standing as it provides access and opportunities for the participating children to engage in activities and programmes that introduces them to the world around them whilst encouraging them to visualise and aspire to the world they want to see.


The children learn about the importance of having strong cultural identity and pride, community, and about staying safe, learning about positive leadership characteristics and how to make better informed decisions that leads positive outcomes.

The project is unique in the sense that it pulls from African and Caribbean cultural perspectives and tradition, the key ingredients which make up a community, and cultural arts which can help them to stay confident, resilient and ambassadors for the future.

Curent Project : Safety First

The “Safety-First” Programme has been funded by Suffolk Giving and Maurken through Suffolk Community Foundation who have been tremendously generous in supporting the project from its inception.

The aim of Safety First is to build diversionary and preventative activities for the children, enabling them to become more aware about behaviours and decisions that leads to anti-social behaviour, and how to make better informed decisions so that they avoid being drawn into conversations or disruptive behaviours that lead them down that path.

The main goal is to steer the children away from activities which would make them vulnerable to being drawn into anti-social behaviour, gangs, county lines and grooming.

The sessions planned have been shaped in partnership with the parents, the project management board along with the lead co-ordinator, youth tam leaders and the volunteers who are instrumental in making the project as successful as it has been till date.

The project will also be supported by a number of local organisations and professionals who will be delivering aspects of the programme to drive home the message of staying safe and being resilient using a variety of creative, fun and engaging activities, such as drama role play, digital art, street dance, art and crafts, video production, and book making.

All of the work will culminate into a ‘Safety first’ resource including a Safety-First Poster and handbook which will then be shared with other local organisations and projects working with young people to be used as an educational and information resource.

The children will also be encouraged and supported throughout the project to become Safety First Ambassadors within ACYCLE, their families and communities.
