UTurn is about empowering and supporting young people to improve their life opportunities for a positive future by diverting them away from youth violence.
What’s coming up at UTurn 🧡🖤
We’ve got lots happening over the next few weeks, from Youth Ambassador training and fundraising challenges to fitness sessions, activities and community updates.
Keep an eye on our page for updates, photos, videos and ways to get involved.
