Capturing the Voice of Reading’s Young People in a Conversation about our community and the effects of violent crime.
The Reading ROC conversation has been commissioned by the Home Office as part of a nationwide initiative to address the causes of violent crime and mobilise local communities to deliver relevant responses within their unique context.
Young people are especially impacted by and vulnerable to violent crime and its related issues. A conversation in Reading that didn’t include the voices of our young people would be woefully inadequate; therefore we are making sure that this doesn’t happen.
Young People in Conversation about their Community and the Effects of Violent Crime.
The Aims of this Webinar:
- To create platforms and opportunities through which young people can have their say.
- To listen and take on board what the young people share, and faithfully representing it in the ongoing conversations with other sections of the community.
- To facilitate creative action by young people and others in the community, that will address issues raised by the young people.
Our panelists are a mixture of young people and people who work with young people.
Register your space to participate in the conversation via chat and Q&A, registrations are on a first come first served basis, we can have up to 100 individuals, groups or classes participating in each conversation in this way!
If you haven’t already signed up – it would be amazing if you could be part of it! A conversation like this is only as good as the sum of those who take part. So come and join in, have your voice heard!
Everything you need to know you will find below.

On Wednesday 28th April 2021, ROC are coming to Reading and you are invited to join the ROC conversation, which will be taking place virtually online via Zoom. There will be two identical events, one at 2pm and the second at 7pm.
Who are ROC?
Redeeming Our Communities is a national charity founded in 2004 with over 150 projects throughout the UK. The charity’s main aim is to bring about localised community transformation by creating sustainable and strategic partnerships, which open up opportunities for crime and disorder reduction and improved community cohesion.
This partnership approach has seen crime and anti-social behaviour fall and fresh hope brought to some of the most deprived and challenging areas of the UK, urban and rural alike.
ROC brings together community groups, charities, multi-faith organisations, statutory partners such as education, social care, youth services, police, fire service, local authorities and voluntary agencies to encourage them to work together in positive partnerships for practical ‘on the ground’ change.
As a result, statutory agencies have improved access to the support available through the network of the local community, charitable and multi-faith support groups. Thousands of volunteers are enabled to better serve the needs of their community. This idea is proving to be even more valuable in the light of the current economic climate and the Big Society.
It aims to bring the strategic partnerships and third sector groups together cohesively in order to enable those in need support can receive it at the right time in the right place with a holistic approach to their needs.
What is a ROC Conversation?
A ROC Conversation is a structured community engagement event that brings together local people to celebrate all the good things happening in the community and explore practical ways of doing more.

ROC’s mission is to support and build upon community resilience by inspiring and supporting groups to work together.
A ROC Conversation achieves this by:
- Connecting local community members, volunteers & statutory agencies
- Celebrating all the good things taking place in your community
- Raising awareness of the current needs of your community
- Exploring potential solutions and resources required to meet current needs
- Creating a network of people passionate about improving your community

- Kick-starting new projects in your community
Who can attend?
The simple answer to this is ANYONE can attend.
ROC works with many difference agencies including public services, statutory authorities, schools, businesses, community organisations and churches. People who agree that communities are important and that we can all play our part. People from different backgrounds, with different beliefs and different cultural influences who all share a common vision: to make their community stronger. The common vision enables them to look beyond their differences and pool their energies and resources.
