PEER POWER YOUTH

Who we are

Peer Power Youth is an empathy-led charity.

We work alongside young people who have experienced injustice, inequalities, trauma and childhood adversity.

We work to heal trauma and adversity through empathy & caring relationships.

We then support young people to use their lived experience voice to make change happen for others.

Why is Peer Power Youth different? - Everything we do is centered around young people and we work alongside young people who have designed and developed our organisation from the start.

We want to make sure that the young people who are not usually heard in society ARE heard. The young people we work alongside are passionate about using their experience in a positive and powerful way to improve services.

Our vision

A world where empathy-led services and systems support all children, teenagers and young adults to achieve their dreams and lead their best lives.

Our mission

To be a caring support network for young people, helping to change their lives through trusted healthy relationships so they can change and inspire the lives of others and increase empathy in the services designed to help them.

Who we work with - The young people we work alongside are passionate about using their experiences in positive and powerful ways to improve support services.

The organisations that we partner with include youth justice services, health services, prisons, police, social services, schools and more. e.g Ministry of Justice (MOJ), National Health Service (NHS), UK Trauma Council (UKTC), Youth Justice Board (YJB) and more.
