We asked 200 young people (14-25) in North Kent if they feel safe in 2023/24. Many who don’t feel safe say there aren’t enough police. Alarmingly, 10% said they would carry a knife to feel safe . This has to change.

“A 6-year-old groomed into county lines—this is the harsh reality we’re facing.
Our mission to combat child criminal exploitation now starts as early as primary schools, targeting ages 6 and up. Through drama, rap, and the arts, we’re educating children in their language.
Sending your children out and showing them how to break the law does not mean you get away with it. Parents will live with their children’s criminal record of violence , attempted murder, arson and anti social behaviour !
"Prisons are closing because we can't afford to run them, yet they are also full and need to be emptied. Which one is it? 🤔 #CriminalJustice #PrisonReform"

From escaping knifemen to being trapped with 'zombie' like addicts for days & brutal attacks. The brave young men (and parents) I spoke to detailed a harrowing & grim picture of #countylinesgangs.

2 weeks since an 18yr old was murdered in Dartford.
V sad to see this happen in Dartford.
However as a result youth have been coming together & discussing ways forward. Main issues youth are talking about is, identity, affirmation, loneliness , culture, nurturing
& support.
Our volunteers , mums, staff and community have spent the last week working with the young people who have lost their friend in Dartford.
A crowd of balloons were let off in his memory with their personal messages & memories.
As the mum sadly said she hopes this stops others
