Support

Last year 40 young people lost their lives to knife crime in England and Wales.

One life lost is too many. We are actively working to change that number through our Intervention services.

We support young people who are involved in or on the periphery of becoming involved in the criminal justice system, including those affected by violence. We mentor our young people with a therapeutic approach to help them live safer and happier lives.

Last year 9,376 children were permanently excluded from school.

Our prevention programmes are delivered in schools and communities with the aim of reducing that number and helping young people to strive for safe and happy lives.

We work with mainstream schools and Pupil Referral Units to deliver these programmes for children and young people who are at risk of exclusion or have experience of involvement in the criminal justice system.

Community

Engagement

Parent Champion
Aqa accredited wholistic mentoring training
Trauma awareness training

To create lasting change, we need to ensure all young people are cared for by adults who are trauma-informed, and systems that are responsive to their social and emotional needs.

As part of this, we work with parents/carers, professionals and volunteers to ensure that they are well equipped, so that young people can receive the support they need.
