The 2021 Diocese of London Lent Appeal will focus on Youth Violence, supporting the charities XLP, Transforming Lives For Good (TLG), and Redthread. Youth violence, which is prevalent in London, is the intentional use of physical force or power to threaten or harm others by young people aged between 10-24 years. It typically involves young people hurting peers who are unrelated to them and who they may or may not know well. Youth violence can include fighting, bullying, threats with weapons, and gang-related violence. A young person can be involved with youth violence as a victim, offender, or witness.
