Safer London is an independent pan-London charity that supports young people affected by violence and crime. They believe that effective prevention, education and intensive support can empower young people to make positive changes to their lives. They also believe that to maintain any change it is essential to work with parents, carers, professionals and the communities within which young people live.
Safer London's projects, programmes and training are developed in partnership with young people and those involved in their lives, responding holistically to all the challenges they face. Last year, they improved the lives of over 5,000 people.
Services include:
Empower - Comprehensive programme for young people affected by sexual violence and exploitation
Aspire - Mentoring and skills development for young people affected by violence and crime
Safe & Secure - Intensive support for young people at high risk of gang related violence
Specialist Training & Consultancy - Workshops, courses and advice service for professionals, parents and carers
The team develop new (as well as tailor existing) projects, programmes and training to meet local and regional needs and utilise their comprehensive outcomes monitoring information to inform government policy.
