Headliners (UK) wishes to grow our Safe Spaces project enabling children and young people from disadvantaged communities in London and Newcastle to take part in after school activity and support them to avoid getting drawn into youth violence.

Situation
Young people have identified that they feel there is considerable barriers to them feeling comfortable and safe in accessing safe after school activities. Our COVID-19 partnership with the Emerging Minds Network identified that young people from black and ethnic minority backgrounds are significantly more likely to have experienced significant trauma and uncertainty as a result of the pandemic. Young people have highlighted their needs to be able to access spaces safely with friends.
Solution
Our Safe Spaces project would seek to address these issues of how young people feel safe in accessing our young reporters club by creating safe space. With a youth led programme of multi-media activities, to overcome the lack of confidence and reluctance young people have identified as well as the lack of knowledge of where young people can access activities in London and Newcastle safely to their feelings of wellbeing and improved mental health and build social networks.
