Our Journey and Mission Since 2017
We have been in business since March 2017. Our journey began following some of the most horrific murders of young people in Camden in a week. A collective was then formed of professionals and families of young people who were afraid that not a lot was being done to support young people and their vulnerabilities on the street. We gained a lot of press coverage to highlight the epidemic of knife-related deaths and injuries.
The Need for Dedicated Advocacy
Our passion is young people and family advocacy, as this is where our skill sets are. We are passionate that too many young people and families are being failed by an oversubscribed system. We see a lot of poor mental health amongst young people and families. This affects all aspects of daily life. Due to the lack of statutory services available, young people and families need specialist advocates to work on their behalf. Our founder spends a lot of time in custody, working with young people and the most vulnerable. Our founder’s role is to work alongside solicitors in a supportive capacity. This may include making referrals to social services duty teams, community mental health teams, or drug and alcohol services.
