This report shares the findings from our youth-led research into the role of spaces and adults associated with youth organisations in protecting young people from violence.

Research was conducted by the Lambeth Peer Action Collective between May 2024 and July 2025. Following the research, the LPAC team spent time reflecting on the insights they had captured and what needs to change for more young people to feel safe and protected. This report outlines both the research findings and a collective demand for change.

How are young people supposed to stay safe when we have nowhere safe to go?
