Redthread is a dynamic youth work charity whose vision is a society in which all young people lead healthy, safe and happy lives.

Our mission is to empower young people to thrive as they navigate the challenging transition to adulthood. We use hospital settings as opportunities to reach young people aged 11-15 who have been affected by violence and exploitation and provide the specialist, trauma-informed support they need to be healthy, safe and happy.

Redthread currently works in 13 hospitals across London, Birmingham and Nottingham and supports over 1,300 young people every year. 97% of the young people we support do not return to hospital with a violent injury in the following year. We also deliver the Kings Adolescent Outreach Project, and The Social Switch Project- which is a partnership with social business Catch22.
