Meet the Team
The people behind supporting young Londoners, families and communities to live free from violence and exploitation.
Nabeela Yousaf
Service Delivery Lead - Development
Nabeela has over 12 years of experience working with children and young people, including roles in PRUs and SEBD schools, as well as supervising reparation sessions for Camden Youth Offending Service. Since joining Safer London in 2018, she has progressed from a frontline Practitioner, specialising in supporting girls and young women affected by violence and exploitation, to her current role as Service Delivery Lead.
Passionate about supporting marginalised, vulnerable and isolated young people affected by exploitation and violence, Nabeela enjoyed frontline work and now finds fulfilment in seeing her staff have the same impact. In her new role, she aims to develop services that address emerging needs and reach more young Londoners and their families.
