a community problem needs a community solution

As violence continues to plague our streets, with a 15 and 14 year old brutally murdered just 15 weeks apart. We are supporting both mother’s. We have heart breaking calls coming in from so many mothers desperate for help! These parents fear for their children’s safety, and kids are scared to go to school. The rising cost of living only exacerbates these challenges, forcing families to stretch their budgets beyond their means. Desperate to survive, children are turning to desperate measures. The system is failing them, and it’s time for action.  We call on the government and local authorities to join us in confronting the harsh realities of our streets. Let’s have those uncomfortable conversations and work together to identify the root causes of this escalating crisis. Only by acknowledging the true scope of the problem can we develop more effective solutions to protect our youth and provide the support that families so urgently need. A community problem requires a community solutions.  The boxes that are not ticked need to be actioned.  Systemic issues are playing a major role in hindering the work of Project Lifeline in the community. Our children and their parents deserve our help. Let’s come together as a community, listen to their stories, and take the necessary steps to create a safer, more nurturing environment for all. The time for change is now. You’re either part of the solution or you’re part of the problem, there is no in between.
