Too many young lives are being lost in our city. A young person stabbed to death in St Ann’s. Another shot in the Meadows. A 15-year-old stabbed at school. This isn’t just crime, it’s a public health issue. We need collective action. We can’t afford to lose another young life.

Not every young person we support comes from a background of hardship or vulnerability; sometimes, all they need is a door to be opened. Through our partnership with Gleeds, we are proud to have supported Nassor in securing a year-long paid placement. #Partnership #Jobs #ESG

Happy International Women’s Day. Two amazing girls singing Fight Song, a reminder that even the smallest voices can carry powerful messages. 💜 #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2026 #EmpowerGirls #SwitchUp

B was once carrying knives & getting in trouble with the police. Now he’s back in education, aiming for a career in construction. This week he saw his first live match with Notts County FC. Transforming lives. 🙌 #SwitchUp #NottsCounty #LivesNotKnives #Community

Our CEO spoke to ITV about boys and young men. Too many are struggling with mental health, high suicide rates and exclusion from school. This isn’t politics. It’s about not letting our boys fall through the cracks. They need purpose. Role models. Safe spaces #BoysAndYoungMen

Switch Up XP is more than a free youth club. It's a space where young people can come together & learn new #skills. Yesterday's workshop focused on managing #conflict & how to handle difficult situations in a positive way. #SwitchUpXP #BuildingPositiveFutures @TNLComFund @DCMS
