We work alongside young Londoners.
We’re here to listen to you. Together we’ll find out how we can make you feel safe and stay safe.
We’re not an emergency service, but if you’re worried about your safety there are ways we can help you.
If you or a friend are facing threats of violence in the community, or are worried about abuse and harm from others we offer support to find ways to keep you safe.
Our support is based on your individual circumstances and needs. We offer one to one support, where one of our team will work with you over a period of six months. Together we’ll work on aspects of your life such as safety planning and self-esteem building.
Young Londoners who we work with also access to specialist support such as housing advocacy and emotional wellbeing.
