"The young people of today are the leaders, teachers, and role models of tomorrow. However, many bright futures are being cut short in the face of drugs, violence, and gangs."
International Youth Day is an opportunity to celebrate the qualities of young people and recognises the challenges that today’s youth can face. We would like to use this day as a chance to support and raise awareness of Fearless, a youth service guided by Crime Stoppers.
'Fearless' develops effective anti-crime resources for young people and their families which they deliver to teachers, youth workers, and community leaders. Their intention is to empower young people to make positive decisions that prevent wasted lives and wasted futures. The service is aimed at 11 to 16-year-olds, raising awareness of the dangers that surround street crime, drugs, and violence.
Safetell employees have raised money to support Fearless by participating in multiple fundraising activities within the workplace, over the last week. The employees have raised a sum of £121.
We believe that supporting charities and services like Crime Stoppers and Fearless who "believe that everyone has the right to feel safe from crime. Whoever you are, wherever you live, from communities to companies" will help us achieve our vision to contribute to a safer society.
