What we offer

This project supports young people aged 10 to 16 to address and reduce the risk factors in their lives enabling them to lead healthier happier lives.

Our team provides a flexible approach to engage young people through:

  • one-to-one support and community interventions around knife crime and anti-social behaviour.
  • virtual reality headsets that help them to make the right choices on gang and knife crime related issues.
  • detached work on the streets of Bramley targeting hot spot areas specifically around carrying weapons and the law.

My worker listened to me which I am not used to adults taking me seriously.

I get in less trouble now, my worker got me signed up to the gym which I love going.
