Please help us support young people to stay safe, engaged and inspired to avoid the tragic crossover of gang crime and grooming. We have been working within the social housing backgrounds of Camden, giving access to free music programs, mentoring and support in education in the music industry. There is a huge problem in London with adolescents being used for gang activities, please support today!

To support young people to stay safe, engaged, and inspired to avoid the tragic crossover of gang crime and grooming. We have been working within the social housing backgrounds of Camden. Developing young people in music, education, mentoring is crucial to continue our work in this program.

There is a need to ensure young people stay safe, engaged, and inspired to avoid the tragic crossover of gang crime and grooming. We have been working within the social housing backgrounds of Camden, there is a huge problem in the early teenage years in which young people are being groomed, used for drug running, carrying knives, and being used to work for their elders. We know this is one of London’s hardest problems to tackle as numbers are growing and the ages are getting even younger.

We have been working with young people in this age group and have been talking with the young people we fear are in danger of being groomed for gangs. We know they need a positive outlet; they need to realize their own identity and to have ownership of a creative project in which they feel proud. Young people at this age need to be constantly involved in, but a project that they want to do and will enjoy as this is the only way to keep engaged which will in time educate to gainful employment.

“I have been developing this project and working closely on the ground with our young people at risk. This program is proving to be fundamental in the work we do in supporting our youth, keeping them safe, giving them education, mentoring, giving our next generation a chance in life. Thank you!”
