We are Croydon based but work across London with schools, colleges and other partner organisations to reduce the risk of gang related violence to young people. Our approach is preventative; we work with young people through our youth mentors who are trained in explaining the dangers of association with gangs, and working with small groups and individuals who are at risk.We are a youth led organisation, we listen and act on the views of our expert youth mentors who are familiar with the real world of gang culture and this forms the basis of our work in Croydon and elsewhere.
