💚 Children’s Mental Health Week 2026 💚

Every young person deserves somewhere they feel safe, seen, and supported.

At Youth Unity, we know that belonging isn’t just a feeling — it’s created through trusted relationships, safe spaces, and opportunities where young people can be themselves without judgement.

Through mentoring, outreach, creative projects, sports, and youth voice programmes, we work alongside young people to build places where they can grow, express who they are, and feel part of something positive.

Because when young people feel they belong, confidence grows, wellbeing improves, and brighter futures become possible.

Let’s continue creating spaces where every young person can say:

👉 This is my place.

🚐 Youth Unity Outreach in Gravesend & Dartford

We’re proud to be delivering targeted town centre outreach sessions in Gravesend and Dartford, working in partnership with local Community Safety Partnerships and Kent Police.

Through our mobile outreach provision, our team meets young people where they are — offering support, guidance, and positive alternatives that help divert away from crime and anti-social behaviour. We provide on-the-spot signposting to local services, activities, and opportunities that support safer and healthier choices.

This work forms part of our contextual safeguarding approach — recognising the spaces young people spend time in and responding proactively to reduce risk.

Guided by our 3P strategy – Prevent | Protect | Provide, we aim to:
✅ Prevent harm
✅ Protect young people from exploitation and negative influences
✅ Provide safe spaces and positive pathways

Together, we’re helping build safer communities and brighter futures.

We’re proud to share that Youth Unity CIC is now part of the Havering Serious Violence Strategic Partnership 🤝

Working alongside local partners, we’ll be helping to shape a coordinated response to reduce serious violence, support young people, and strengthen safer communities across the borough.

This ensures that frontline youth voice, outreach experience, and contextual safeguarding remain at the heart of strategic decision-making — helping create positive pathways and real opportunities for young people.

Together, we continue to Prevent | Protect | Provide.

🟡 SNUS & TOBACCO POUCHES — WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW 🟡

Small pouches. Big risks.

Snus and nicotine pouches sit under the lip and deliver addictive nicotine straight into the bloodstream. They’re often sold in bright, sweet-looking packaging and can seem harmless — but they’re not.

⚠️ Risks include:
• Nicotine addiction
• Gum damage and gum recession
• Mouth sores and tooth problems
• Cravings and mood changes

Because they don’t produce smoke or vapour, many young people think they’re safer — but they still carry real health consequences.

👀 Parents & carers: look out for small round tins, pouches under the lip, and complaints of sore gums or mouth pain.
