PTF exists to empower communities to end youth violence. For this to be a reality, communities will need to work together and learn from one another
Power the Fight was founded by Ben Lindsay, building on two decades of experience working with local authorities. In 2016, following the murder of teenager Myron Yarde, Ben started gathering people from within the community to reflect and create a space for dialogue. Policy makers, police, youth workers and parents joined together, collectively inspiring the beginnings of Power The Fight, with the conviction that faith and community groups, often with their own buildings, resources and volunteers, have a unique contribution to make.
Four areas of work:
Educate - training programmes and workshops.
Equip - developing resources.
Enable - building connections/influencing societal change
Engage - supporting families impacted by youth violence.
