Working with young people

Welcome to the youth section of the independent charity, Crimestoppers', website.

Here you will find information about all our youth projects and the resources available for teachers and youth workers, including our interactive website, 'ShadowCS', aimed at young people aged 11-16 plus.

Crimestoppers is an independent UK-wide charity working to stop crimes.

We work for you, your friends and family and your community.

You can give information to us about crime anonymously by calling us on 0800 555 111.

We are not part of the Police, but an independent charity. We do work with them, just as we work with business, media, schools, youth groups and the local community for a common goal; a safer, fairer society.

  • Call 0800 555 111 if you have any information about crime
  • We don't want to know your name or where you live
  • Your call cannot be traced or recorded
  • You won't have to give a statement or go to court
  • The only person who knows that you've called is you!
