Redthread is a multi award-winning charity with over 20 years experience of delivering pioneering youth work in hospitals and other health settings. We work across 13 hospitals in London, Nottinghamshire and Birmingham with 11- 25 year olds who are affected by grooming, sexual and criminal exploitation, violence, emotional and physical harm, mental health issues, domestic violence and modern slavery. We also support children and young people in the online space to reduce the impacts of violence, and those experiencing a range of health conditions, who are vulnerable and in need. We train NHS staff so they are able to identify and better support children and young people affected by violence in health settings. We amplify the voices of children and young people and use our evidence and insights from working with them to adapt and innovate our work, support service improvement, and influence regional and national government.
Redthread Youth is a dynamic and impactful charity that strives to empower young people to lead healthy, safe and happy lives. They do this by working directly with young people in crisis through their Youth Violence Intervention Programme, and by supporting hospitals to prevent violence through their Violence Reduction Programme. They may be small but they are mighty - having positively impacted over 200,000 lives since they were founded in 2005. Not only is the work that they do inspiring, but so is their approach to flexible working, commitment to their team's wellbeing and great Glassdoor reviews. If you're looking to make a difference to the lives of young people, then Redthread Youth is the place for you.
