At Switch Up, we’re committed to keeping young people away from crime, violence and antisocial behaviour. Our youth club offers a safe space to grow, build skills, explore careers, and choose a better path. #SwitchUp #YouthEmpowerment #SafeSpaces #LivesNotKnives

These are conversations every young person needs to hear. At Switch Up, we believe the most effective way to tackle youth violence is through early intervention, #education & trusted relationships. @MarcellusBaz #YouthVoice #SaferCommunities #LivesNotKnives

Wishing all of our young people, families, partners & supporters celebrating Eid al-Fitr a joyful & peaceful Eid Mubarak 🌙 May this special time bring happiness, reflection & time with loved ones. From everyone at Switch Up, we hope you have a wonderful celebration. #Eid2026

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
