The challenges facing children today are complex and varied and the world seems a tough place for them to be.
This will not be changed overnight by one individual thing, but there are lots of ways in which children can be better protected and supported as they navigate modern life.
Support
Helping young people build stronger futures
Young people need safe spaces, real connection, and life skills that go beyond school.
What we do:
- Provide screen-free youth spaces in Harvey’s Hub throughout the holidays where children can relax and connect
- Deliver skills sessions to build emotional, digital, and practical understanding
- Connect young people with role models and careers information
- Offer access to health and wellbeing support society.
inclusion
Supporting families and young people who feel left behind
Not every child thrives in mainstream education, and too many families struggle alone.
What we do:
- Share Harvey’s story through in-person and online talks, making real the dangers and impacts of knife crime
- Share practical advice and lived experiences for both parents and children struggling with school inclusion
- Advocate for better alternative education options
- Create spaces for honest conversations
Our aim:
To ensure no family feels isolated or without options and the conversation shifts from shame to empowerment.
protect
Making public spaces safer for young people
What we do:
- Fund knife arches and bleed kits in schools and community spaces
- Install amnesty bins
- Deliver the “Harvey Says” poster system to provide routes for anonymous whistleblowing when knives are known to be present in youth spaces
- Campaign for stronger school safety policies
Our aim:
To reduce harm and prevent violence before it happens.
Real change happens when we act together. Everything we do aims to build safer, stronger futures for young people.
