LifeLine works with young people on the edge of poor mental health, serious youth violence and school exclusion to become agents for change in their communities. We do this through providing mentoring to young people, supporting their families and building the communities around them.
Our SW!TCH Communities Programme works on local estates where there is a high prevalence to violence. The postholder will work with a small team to build the capacity of the local community to respond to and prevent issues of serious youth violence. This will include having a high visible presence on the estates, liaising with partner organizations & stakeholders and recruiting, training and supporting local community members to become volunteer mentors and community activists.
