Empowering young people and changing lives David is part of an organisation called P4YE which is run by four friends tired of talking about the challenges that some of our Youth are facing, so they decided to do something about it.

P4YE work closely with the police and statutory bodies as the bridge between the authorities and the young people and families they engage with.

David also engages and speaks to young people in their language which is a massive facet of building a bond and trust.

His approach is that one size does not fit all and this is why they create bespoke services for each of the young people they work with.

David is passionate about building a better community. During COVID David and the team have been delivering food parcels within the community making sure the vulnerable and the homeless are looked after during these difficult times.

The organisation has featured on BBC London Radio, LBC and the Croydon Guardian. During these hard times David and his team continue to mentor and support young people and their families by delivering online workshops that help to empower them.

Suicide is an issue that is uncomfortable to talk about. It’s one of those topics that can save a life, a topic that helps others overcome a host of challenges. It’s a subject that I will always talk about simply because it’s needed.
