If we want to truly prevent crime & reduce it in the long-term, we need more funding for frontline services now to support the most vulnerable.

Better support at the earliest stage, & the demand on policing & mental health services will significantly reduce in the long run.

Was fab to hear an update from them this week around their ongoing work, & their plans to positively change even more lives for the better.

They though, like so many others, are seeing increased demand from both young people & adults, but less funding & support available.

🏋️‍♀️ I absolutely love the work @Weights_Cakes do in Southwick - a hub in the heart of the community that is so much more than just a weightlifting club.

From youth mentoring to counselling, family support to nutritional advice, projects to increase inclusivity and much more.

Our youth weightlifting club voted to give 50% of raffle profits to @SCSKitchen. As a club we know how the cost of living means lots of families are struggling with food, we ensure we always have healthy snacks available. #community #southwick #foodcrisis
