Led by Swan Housing, One Housing, Clarion Housing and Tower Hamlets Homes are working collectively, to make a real difference in young people’s lives.

Violence is a major cause of death, life-changing injuries and long-term conditions, for many young people. Report carried out by ONS in 2020, shows there were 46,000 knife or sharp instrument offences in the UK, with knife crime rising by 6% from the previous year. Every time a young person is affected by violent crime, it is utterly heart-breaking and leaves families and communities devastated.

We have commissioned a fantastic charity, StreetDoctors, to host workshop this summer, within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. These sessions aim to place young people (aged 14+) at the centre of emergency first-aid provision and empower them to become part of the solution to violence.
