StreetDoctors has trained over 13,000 young people in the physical and psychological effects of violence across 2024. 

Since 2008, StreetDoctors has been training young people across the UK in both the physical and psychological consequences of street violence through emergency first-aid provision. 

StreetDoctors empowers young people to become part of the solution to violence through dedicated training which is delivered by a movement of over 300 young healthcare volunteers (nurses, paramedics and doctors).  

Volunteers 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. 

In 2024, StreetDoctors has set a new delivery record and has reached over 13,000 young people nationally, compared to just 300 in 2021. 

CEO of StreetDoctors, Martin Tilbury said: “Our mission is to empower young people to keep themselves safe, save lives and be part of the solution to street violence. The more young people we reach, the more young people have the skills and knowledge to act as a first responder if an incident was to occur and prevent violence within their communities. 

“Whether our training is delivered as an early intervention response to youth violence or a result of an incident, we ensure young people have the right knowledge and understanding so they can see a future without violence.” 

In the first ten years operating as a charity, StreetDoctors trained 25,000 young people. However, in the last two years alone (2023 and 2024) StreetDoctors has significantly grown and trained over 25,000 young people within this time.
