We are a movement of healthcare volunteers training young people affected by violence to save lives by giving emergency first aid at the scene of an attack.

Knife crime and serious street violence ruin lives every day. Experts are warning of a tsunami of violence as Covid restrictions lift, but together we can do something about it. Every donation goes towards supporting volunteers like Kwaku to train young people to become street doctors in their communities. With violence rising, we are raising money to train 4,000 young people to protect each other from knife crime and violence over the next year. Can you help us make our communities safer with a donation?

Our training is proven to work - 94% say they know how to save the life of someone who has been stabbed after our training. But as Kwaku says, there is still so much work we need to be doing. Gangs and street violence are on the rise again and the headlines are filled with reports of lives tragically lost, including children as young as 13 who are often vulnerable, and have been groomed by drugs gangs. We need your help to train more young people this year so they can protect each other and make our communities safer.

As young healthcare volunteers we know how powerful it feels to save a life. In our sessions young people learn how to treat stab wounds, perform emergency CPR, call emergency services, and examine how they can step forward to help someone in an emergency. They also learn about the medical consequences of violent injuries and how life-threatening any wound can be.

All the money raised will fund training and support for our volunteers and more vital sessions in schools, youth clubs, and sports clubs in communities where violence is a problem. Please support our campaign to reach more young people and become part of the StreetDoctors movement by making a donation.
