About Trusted Youth Allies

Supporting young victims of crime who need to talk to adults they trust

Creating a safe and supportive environment for young people 

There are over 360,000 young people victims of crime – between 7 and 25 years old – in London every year. Only 3 out of 10 report their crime.

We are creating opportunities for young people to share their experiences of being a victim of crime with a network of trained trusted adults so they can be emotionally held and supported with the goal of facilitating their recovery.

Free training for adults and youth professionals

  • Free Quality Trauma-Informed Training: Adults, parents and youth professionals in London can register for free online and face-to-face trauma-informed training.
  • Access to further resources and training material: The website has a number of different resources available, so please take a look and share!
