Postcode Parents
Stronger Together
Postcode Parents are a support group for parents bereaved or traumatised as a result of serious youth violence, gun and knife crime, they also welcome parents who have concerns about their children’s behaviour and the ever-changing youth culture.
We focus on the specific needs of victims in the aftermath of losing someone to violent crime and provide ongoing practical support, emotional support, advocacy and a range of therapies to users not only to enable them with everyday coping mechanisms but also give them a voice to advocate against and raise awareness of knife crime, gun crime and serious youth violence and their impacts.
​
Due to COVID-19 restrictions the support group meetings have been paused. Please keep a look out on this page an our social media pages for further updates. For more information please select this link to see our dedicated COVID-19 Support Service page.
