SWFRS REFLECT youth intervention project

The SWFRS REFLECT youth intervention team would like your help to reach more young people who really benefit from their interventions. Below you can learn more from them about their REFLECT project.

It is because of our relationships with yourselves that we have been able to grow and evolve the REFLECT project, working with over 3000 young people a year within South Wales.

We work with young people who display risk taking or challenging behaviour and are keen to move forward with our early intervention work with the young people in which you engage.

Through interventions such as workshops, Fire Fighter for a Day, Street Fire Fighter, the use of VR and even engagement through sport, we are able to complement your existing work with these young people and add something different in regards to engagement.

As we begin to plan our 2025 interventions, we would like to make sure you get ahead of what we already envisage to be a busy new year in working with young people.
