About StreetDoctors

StreetDoctors is an award-winning national charity which trains over 16,000 young people affected by violence each year, in the physical and psychological consequences of street violence. We develop their confidence and willingness to protect themselves and others.

The training is delivered through a network of young healthcare leaders (trainee doctors, nurses and paramedics) who volunteer with youth workers across the UK, to empower young people affected by violence (aged 11-25) to become lifesavers in their community.

All the training is delivered in partnership with a range of youth organisations and we believe in supporting a multi-agency approach to addressing community challenges which brings together partners’ unique strengths and skills.

We believe knowledge is power, so we empower young people at risk with the skills to become part of the solution to violence, rather than just being seen as ‘part of the problem’.
