"Youth crime in a North Edinburgh neighbourhood has reduced by more than 80% in the last year following an ‘inspirational’ community initiative."

​

Midnight and Beyond was established in 2014 as part of the Total Craigroyston initiative, aiming to engage with young people involved in anti-social behaviour and youth crime in North Edinburgh. Formerly FACENorth SCIO, Midnight and Beyond became an independent charity in July 2022, with the support of the KPE4 Charitable Trust.

​

Midnight and Beyond's strengths lie in its ability to build trust and rapport with young people, fostering positive relationships that enable personal growth and development. Additionally, their community engagement efforts and advocacy work amplify the impact of their initiatives, driving positive change in both individual lives and the broader community. Midnight and Beyond has achieved significant successes in reducing youth crime and anti-social behaviour, increasing educational attendance and engagement, providing pre-employment training, ensuring sustainable positive destinations for young people, improving overall health and well-being, enhancing community value, and reducing costs to the government through its innovative impactful programmes. These successes demonstrate effectiveness in empowering young people and creating positives change in their lives and the community.
