Our charity believes that everyone has the right to feel safe in their community.

We know that it can be difficult to speak up with information or suspicions about crime, so we developed a way for you to tell us what you know 100% anonymously.

This means that

• we can’t trace your phone number or email address
• we can’t trace your IP addresses or location
• we don’t know who you are

You can trust us with what you know, confident that NOBODY will ever know that information came from you. 

Because we will NEVER break our promise of anonymity – we can’t take information from victims of crime. If someone is hurting you or you are worried about crime please speak to a trusted adult (a parent/carer, teacher, youth worker etc) police or you can contact childline.org.uk on 0800 1111

In an emergency ALWAYS dial 999

Anyone can be a victim of drug dealers

School wasn’t a happy place for Amy.  She didn’t have many friends and felt quite isolated. The group of young adults at the skate park made her feel included and part of something. They made her feel like she was accepted and important but that was all an act.

Criminals will often groom a young person, by giving them gifts or free drugs/alcohol to encourage them to do stuff for them.

They don’t want to get caught carrying or selling drugs so they’d rather make money whilst someone else faced that risk.

Often, criminal gangs will arrange for a young person to be ‘mugged’ of the drugs or money they’re keeping for them so that they build a drug debt, which makes them even more vulnerable to their demands.

This can lead to further exploitation and make the young person feel like they have no other choice.

Following the death of her mum, Tina was struggling to cope with her grief. She didn’t feel like she had the right support and she wanted something to block her pain.

Quickly she became addicted and it prompted a huge spiral of harm and destruction in her life. She couldn’t see a way out. Unprescribed drugs can worsen mental health problems including depression.
