StreetDoctors is an award-winning national charity that trained over 13,000 young people affected by violence in 2024; both in the physical and psychological consequences of street violence.
Why do we exist?
It is our vision to end to street violence affecting young people. We aim to empower young people to keep themselves and others safe; ultimately saving lives.
What do we do?
StreetDoctors puts young people at the centre of emergency first-aid provision and empowers them to become part of the solution to violence through understanding the physcial and psychological consequences of violence.
How do we do it?
Our training is delivered by our movement of young healthcare volunteers (nurses, paramedics and doctors) who work in partnership with a wide variety of services where young people may be active: criminal justice services, schools, pupil referral units, youth, sports and community groups.
Street violence is a serious problem affecting young people all over the UK. Find out what it is, what the causes are and how StreetDoctors takes a public health approach to reduce it.
Awards won by StreetDoctors for our unique and excellent training in violence prevention
[StreetDoctors] has changed my mind, now I wouldn’t think about taking a knife out because I can hurt myself, giving yourself all these problems and the guilt of doing it to someone else.
