Preventing and protecting young people from gangs and grooming - on the streets and online

GROWING AGAINST VIOLENCE

Growing Against Violence (GAV) is a charity that aims to prevent youth violence and protect young people against exploitation by gangs and grooming both on the streets and online.  We deliver age appropriate workshops into schools and colleges for both pupils and teachers.

 

Our workshops are designed by leading professionals and experts across business, academia, public policy, including Dr Lyttle Storrod, an award-winning teacher and researcher who centres social justice and civic engagement.

In these workshops, we address the root causes of violence, and work on keeping young people out of gangs, exploitative peer-on-peer relationships and away from antisocial behaviour.
