And that’s a wrap! After seven weeks, our #TimeToListen campaign ends. We’ve shared young Londoners’ journeys from harm to hope - showing the power of adults who listen with care, not blame. We’ll keep listening and seeing young people as worthy of safety and hope. Thank you 🧡

Last week our Safer London VIPs visited the House of Commons for an event on tackling child poverty, centred on the Children’s Commissioner’s Poverty Report they helped shape. So proud of our VIPs for using their voices to drive change for children and young people 🧡

Too many young Londoners are experiencing sexual violence and abuse. Through our trauma-informed support we’ve seen young Londoners find safety, and we’re committed to being there for even more.

We're sharing an unexpected way that supporting young Londoners can take shape! Last week, our VIPs swapped serious conversations for serious speed 🏎️🏁

It's just as important to create space for fun and connection. Thank you to our corporate partners whose generosity made this trip possible!

This #YouthWorkWeek, we're celebrating the life-changing support our caseworkers do every day! Between them, they have supported hundreds of young Londoners through serious harm and trauma into hope. They are not just the icing on the cake, but the key ingredient that makes everything work 🍰

🕊️ "I've learnt how to trust people. I feel safer. Everything gets better with time."

This is what youth work is all about. Helping young people rebuild confidence and hope for their future.

For many young Londoners, fear isn't just for Halloween - it's every day. Many are exploited by adults they should be able to trust and carry trauma for things they never caused.

At Safer London, we're there for young Londoners through their hardest moments - and stay for as long as it takes 🧡

Yesterday we hosted our Time to Listen event, exploring how to create safe, empowering spaces for young people with lived experience of harm. Huge thanks to London VRU, the Safer London team & our amazing group of VIPs for their energy and honesty! #TimeToListen

When Theo, aged 16, brought a knife to school, it led to exclusion. What no one saw was the fear behind it - days earlier, he'd been chased with a machete. At Safer London, we didn't see a 'bad kid'. We saw someone trying to stay safe. When we stop judging and start listening, everything changes 🧡

Our Time to Listen campaign ends with the faces of young Londoners.

These aren't actors. They're real young Londoners - some who've used our services, others who come from communities affected by violence and exploitation.

Great to meet so many people at the Health & Social Care Job Show last week! We loved chatting with those passionate about supporting young Londoners. Don't worry if you missed it! You can join our talent pool to share your CV and hear about future roles 👉 saferlondon.org.uk/join-the-tea

We need to stop seeing young Londoners as perpetrators and start asking how they got there. Exploitation isn’t a “lifestyle” - it’s abuse. Real safeguarding means listening with care, compassion, and letting young people lead the way.

Everyone makes choices. But sometimes those choices come from fear. One young Londoner we worked with was just 15 when he faced violence from adults, and he was told it was his fault. Now, he's part of our participation programme - a space where we listen and we help him to see himself differently.

This is what one young Londoner told us after working with Safer London. Through our Time To Listen campaign, we're amplifying voices like theirs - because no one should be labelled when asking for help.

Violence and exploitation affects young Londoners' mental health in lots of ways - both in the moment and over time. Our experience tells us that having someone they can trust to talk things through with can make a huge difference to their mental health and helping them get through tough times 🧡

Too often, young Londoners are judged for their actions without anyone asking 'why'. By listening and not labelling, we create the safe spaces they need to be heard. Our Time To Listen campaign challenges the systemic failures that harm young Londoners. Change starts when someone says: 'I see you.'

Child exploitation is devastating, but our commitment to helping young Londoners is just as strong 🧡

Our Director of Practice and a VIP lead a workshop at the Contexts of Contextual Safeguarding conference on how safeguarding orgs can engage with young people’s peer relationships when harm happens outside home, and how these relationships can be sources of love & protection to promote safety.

Many risks to young Londoners' safety are in public spaces. We worked with AWW architects to explore how design can reduce risk and create safer, more inclusive spaces. Thank you to AWW - together we're showing how charities and businesses can build a city where young Londoners thrive.

The presence of a Caseworker at a young Londoner's most vulnerable moment can be life-changing. We are there to listen without judgement, build trust, and help them take their next steps. This September is the perfect time to join us: saferlondon.org.uk/fundraise-fo...

The young Londoners we work with are often juggling so much, all while trying to keep themselves safe from harm. But when they feel listened to, they feel safe enough to share what's really going on in their lives. By choosing to listen first, our Caseworkers help them move from harm to hope ❤️

The effects of exploitation on young Londoners is devastating. It can result in life-altering harm and create psychological damage and disrupt young Londoners life trajectories. We're here to change that. Through relationship-based support we help young Londoners take steps towards hopeful futures.

New look. Same mission.

Our new brand identity reflects the gravity of this work and the commitment we make to those we support. We know that healing is often non-linear and rarely easy. But we show up and we stay because our promise is to be there every step of the way.
