We are pleased to announce the launch of Peer Power Youth’s Annual Report 2024-2025.
We hope you will take the time to read the report and like us, reflect on the incredible impact of such a small team of staff, young people, Advisors and Trustees, and in doing so, think of ways that you may be able to support us to achieve our vision, co-created with young people, of ‘a world where all young people can realise their dreams and live their best life.’
“This year we were able to speak directly to systems and implement change in a practical way. Working with The Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) meant that young people led the conversations with commissioners, telling them what needs improving in London’s youth justice system. Projects like this make you realise that things you’re saying will make a difference to the system”. – Peer Leader, Rico
Peer Power Youth have collaborated with a range of organisations and individuals over the year through funded projects, training, events, workshops, and ‘in kind’ or ‘pro bono’ support. We thank everyone involved in moving us toward achieving our mission. It would be impossible to thank everyone individually, but we hope through this report we have highlighted key partnerships, funders and collaborations.

About Peer Power Youth
Peer Power Youth is a national charity supporting young people aged 13-25, who have dealt with childhood trauma. They have been affected by abuse, exclusion or violence impacting their communities, and have experience in health, youth justice and care services.
The young people that we work with have described themselves as being ‘abandoned by society’. Despite their circumstances, we see their power and potential. We do vital work to support these young people in their journey and improve the youth justice and care services they were once in for the benefit of other young peers. That’s why we focus on both individual change and system change.
Our Individual change work – We offer young people support in training, education, professional experience and promote positive wellbeing.
Our System change work – We work with young people to create real change for others in health, justice and social services.
