Reform Restore Respect

💡 Empowering the next generation to make positive choices!

Our founder, Francis, had the absolute privilege of delivering our Reform Restore Respect workshop to the fantastic Year 6 pupils at Leigh Academy Dartford.The energy in the room was incredible.

Through engaging discussions and thought-provoking activities, these young minds explored crucial topics:

- Navigating peer pressure effectively

- Understanding the consequences of crime

- The power of positive decision-making

- Critically evaluating social media and influencer impact

The maturity, curiosity, and confidence shown by the students was truly inspiring. They connected our workshop directly to their PSHE learning, showing a deep understanding of standing up for what is right.

Thank you to the staff and pupils at Leigh Academy Dartford for welcoming us so warmly. It is moments like these that drive our mission forward.

Year 6 were lucky enough to be joined by Francis Osei-Appiah for an inspiring talk about Reform, Restore, Respect. Pupils listened thoughtfully and reflected on how these values link to their own choices, behaviour and role within the school community. A valuable and thought-provoking experience for all.

Aquila, The Diocese of Canterbury Academies Trust

School of Science and Technology Maidstone (SST) has been a partner school since 2020, and we value the trust they place in us to support their safeguarding and early‑intervention work. Our sessions draw on Francis lived experience growing up on the Broadwater Farm Estate and the consequences of the choices he made as a teen.

Through Reform Restore Respect Charity, our aim is to provide young people with honest, preventative education that helps them recognise risk, challenge harmful narratives, and make safer decisions. The engagement and maturity shown by SST’s students demonstrate just how vital this work is. We look forward to visiting this school community again next academic year.

A Remarkable Day at Chilmington Green School

Today was truly special.

We had the honour of delivering our Reform, Restore, Respect Anti-Crime Early Intervention Workshop to 185 Year 7 students at the newly built Chilmington Green School campus, a stunning facility filled with vibrant classrooms, state-of-the-art resources, and the beginnings of a beautiful art theatre. The energy and engagement from the students were inspiring with inundated questions.

What made today unforgettable? For the first time ever, we received a formal feedback letter hand-delivered to us while still on school site. Miss Rebecca Wood, Vice Principal, expressed heartfelt appreciation for our presentation and the impact it had on their new cohort. Her words reaffirm the importance of our mission and the value of consistent collaboration with schools like Chilmington Green. We quote a snippet from the feedback letter:

“Your expertise and perspective provided tremendous value… we truly appreciate the knowledge you shared with our new Year 7 Cohort.”

We’re deeply grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this community and look forward to receiving the students’ completed questionnaires next week. Thank you to the staff for the warm welcome, school lunch and the tour of your incredible new space.

Here’s to many more moments of impact, growth, and shared purpose.
