Insights from the frontline tell us that poverty, social inequalities, and both real and perceived lack of opportunities, lie behind much of the serious violence tragically taking many young lives before their time, alongside the grooming and exploitation of children and young people through county lines drug running.

Our approach uses professionally trained staff with lived experience of the issues facing the young people we help. The insights and expertise of our staff – all of whom have personal backgrounds which relate to these issues – make them highly sought after to deliver both frontline work to young people and professional training to those working with them.
