StreetDoctors

Who we are

StreetDoctors is an award-winning national charity which trains over 13,500 young people affected by violence each year, both in the physical and psychological consequences of street violence.
StreetDoctors supports young people to develop their confidence and willingness to protect themselves and others.
Our training is delivered through a network of young healthcare leaders (trainee doctors, nurses and paramedics) who volunteer with youth workers across the UK, to empower young people affected by violence (aged 11-25) to become lifesavers in their community.
All training is delivered in partnership with a range of youth organisations and we believe in supporting a multi-agency approach to addressing community challenges which brings togethers partners’ unique strengths and skills.
We believe knowledge is power, so we empower young people at risk with the skills to become part of the solution to violence, rather than just being seen as ‘part of the problem’.
 

Our culture and values

Our Values: 

Empowering : We believe knowledge is power, so we share skills with young people, enabling them to make more informed choices.
