Power the Fight was founded by Ben Lindsay out of a deep belief in the value of human life and the importance of community. It is a response to a growing need for all parts of society to take responsibility for one another.

Most of our work is with families, churches, faith groups and community organisations who want to be equipped to engage with youth violence issues in their context. We do this in a number of ways:

1. Training and workshops

At Power the Fight we have access to the leading thinkers and practitioners from a range of disciplines working in the field youth violence.

Since the beginning of 2019 we have trained and equipped over 8000 organisations and individuals to make a difference to young people’s lives including the NHS, Schools, Faith groups, Charities, local authorities and more.

For more information go to Training and Events.

2. Resources

At Power The Fight we have developed resources to help organisations, faith and community groups to better understand the youth violence issue. These include specialist PowerTalks, links to helpful websites and toolkits. For more information go to PowerTalks and Resources.

3. Building Connections

At Power The Fight we bring community groups together with local authorities, services and other partners to promote mutuality, improve cohesion and effect change. For more information on how we can serve you go to Bespoke Programmes.

We invest the money we raise into equipping communities to build sustainable, community-owned projects that promote peace and end youth violence. To support our work please donate today.

4. Families 

At Power The Fight we support families impacted by youth violence. We do this in partnership, providing access to culturally competent  therapeutic, financial and legal support. We have also developed our Therapeutic Intervention for Peace programme (TIP) which is now being piloted across London to provide culturally competent therapy to young people, families and frontline staff.
