YourStance Pan- London service delivery lead

are a team of experienced doctors and nurses teaching young people at risk of serious youth violence, how to respond to an emergency in London. We teach vulnerable young people aged 11 – 25 how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)





and haemorrhage control becoming ‘Zero Responders’ before a first responder is able to arrive.

Research shows that 34.5% of early trauma deaths from haemorrhage could be prevented by controlling bleeding sooner, and every minute delayed in pre-hospital response to penetrating injuries increases mortality by 2%.

Our mission directly addresses the tragic loss of young lives to serious injuries, equipping young people and those who work with them with critical, practical skills through workshops led by healthcare professionals.

Since we established ourselves as a Community Interest Company in 2019, the project has taught more than 4000 young people and run nearly 400 workshops across London. Most of those taught felt that what they’d learned had been directly and immediately helpful to them.

Our Goals

- Reduce morbidity and mortality caused by serious youth violence in London by teaching more zero responders






- Challenge stigma and prejudices among medical professionals
- Tackle class and racial inequalities by reaching young people most harmed by such inequalities and have a positive impact on those we reach

Why is it important? Interpersonal violence involving knives is a major public health problem. Research released illustrated the influence of age on injury patterns resulting from knife violence, and supported the expansion of outreach initiatives promoting bystander-delivered haemorrhage control of extremity wounds. It highlighted how timely treatment and action can improve health and life outcomes for young victims of serious youth violence. The clinicians now have a duty to train young people on how to save lives.







Feedback from young participants of the programme:

● 95% indicated they had learned something as a result of the YourStance session

● 58% said they had learned something which would have been of use to them in the past

● 80% said they felt better prepared to respond to emergencies as a result of the session
