Is: A project tacking bullying and promoting community safety
Based: Manor, Sheffield, Yorkshire
Begun: 2004
Involves: 16 young people

About: City Angels raises awareness of bullying and supports vulnerable young people in and out of school. Young people, including those who have disabilities or learning difficulties, are trained to be buddies/mentors. They also explore issues around bullying through drama, role play, group exercises, videos and board games. The young people work together to design and deliver community based activities.

“I never thought supporting a friend who was being severely bullied would lead me to becoming a trained mentor/buddy and working with other vulnerable young people. I’ve learnt so much.”
Bridie Pitsch, City Angels
