power the fight
Power The Fight is an award-winning charity which aims to be the conduit between
communities and policy makers (see our Community Empowerment Cycle diagram
above). We create co-produced/co-designed long-term strategies for sustainable
structural change. Most of our work is with young people, families, schools,
local authorities, faith groups and community organisations who want to be
equipped to engage with youth violence issues in their context. We do this in a
number of ways: 1. Training and Events At Power The Fight we have access to
leading thinkers and practitioners from a range of disciplines working in the
field of youth violence. Since the beginning of 2019 we have trained and
equipped over 8000 organisations and individuals to make a difference to young
people’s lives, including the NHS, schools, faith groups, charities, local
authorities and more. For more information go to our training page or see what
events we have coming up. 2. Resources At Power The Fight we have developed
resources to help organisations, faith and community groups to better understand
issues relating to youth violence. These include specialist PowerTalks, links to
helpful websites and toolkits. For more information go to PowerTalks or our
resources page. 3. Building Connections At Power The Fight we bring community
groups together with local authorities, services and other partners to promote
mutuality, improve cohesion and effect change. For more information on how we
can serve you go to bespoke programmes. We invest the money we raise into
equipping communities to build sustainable, community-owned projects that
promote peace and end youth violence. To support our work please donate today.
4. Families At Power The Fight we support families impacted by youth violence.
We do this in partnership, providing access to culturally competent therapeutic,
financial and legal support. We have also developed our Therapeutic Intervention
for Peace programme (TIP) which is now being piloted across London. TIP provides
culturally competent therapy to young people, families and frontline staff
engaging/impacted by violence affecting young people. For more information on
TIP please go to our TIP report page where you can read our research report.
