Welcome to the Lambeth Peer Action Collective

Being young shouldn’t be this dangerous

We are a collective of young people and youth organisations working to create a future free from violence in Lambeth, supported by High Trees Community Development Trust and funded in part by the Youth Endowment Fund.

Lambeth remains one of the most dangerous places in the capital to be young. While Brixton booms, for too long local communities have had to live with inequalities that feed a cycle of violence. Many think they have an answer, but LPAC’s peer research and youth leadership establishes a new standard.

The vision of LPAC is to:

1. Identify the root causes of violence through peer research with other young people.

2. Empower other young people to form campaigns addressing these causes

3. Work with stakeholders to recommend improvements that we think will reduce violence.

Together, we’re organising for the safety we deserve.
