working from the heart

At Street Teams, we believe that every young person deserves the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive in a safe and supportive environment. Since 1999, we have been working on the frontlines of our communities, addressing the challenges that young people face outside of the home—from exploitation and online risks to peer pressure and social exclusion.

Our approach is centred on understanding the pressures and experiences of young people. We combine education, mentoring, and therapeutic support with practical interventions, ensuring that every individual receives the guidance they need to make positive choices and build resilience. Through interactive workshops, community projects, and personalised support, we empower young people to navigate risks safely, develop life skills, and discover their potential.

But our work doesn’t stop with young people. We collaborate closely with families, schools, local organisations, and statutory services to create a network of protection and opportunity. By working together, we aim to reduce harm, strengthen families, and foster communities where everyone can feel safe and supported.

At Street Teams, we are committed to challenging inequality, disrupting exploitation, and championing the voices of young people. Every project we deliver, every partnership we build, and every young life we support is guided by our mission: to help young people feel safe, heard, and valued, and to empower communities to thrive together.
