The Wipers Youth Newsletter for January 2022 highlights several important updates. Wipers' work with Hackney and Haringey was recognized in a report from HM Inspectorate of Probation, where the Ether Programme was cited as a good practice example for supporting black and mixed heritage boys in the youth justice system.
The newsletter also announces that Wipers received MOPAC VRU funding to expand The Ascension Project, supporting young people across multiple London boroughs with services like mentoring, coaching, and work experience. Additionally, it discusses the increase in youth homelessness during the pandemic, with youth organizations supporting those affected, and highlights a fundraising campaign raising £88,000 for charities helping young homeless Londoners.
