Join ClinksGangsline is a non-profit organisation established in 2007 to provide help and support to young men and women involved in gang culture. We work with individuals from the deprived parts of our communities and with deeply entrenched social, educational, spiritual and family issues. Central to our ethos and success is a proactive, spiritual and non-enforcement led approach to gangs, and the gang violence embedded our local communities.
Today Gangsline delivers its unique services by providing a proactive and reactive approach that offers support and exit strategies to young men and women involved in gangs, and an effective prevention service to young people on the peripheries of gang activity. Our specialist outreach response team – all of whom are ex-gang members themselves – are uniquely placed to access and work alongside even the most high risk gang leaders and members.

Supporting information
Child exploitation within gangs is rapidly growing and is widespread in many cities throughout the UK such as Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham, Leeds, Bristol, Sheffield. Gang members target for grooming playgrounds, schools, local shops, youth centres and parks to lure children into the vices of drug dealing, theft and violence. These children have no idea of the risks they face and leaving this deeply entrenched culture always proves disasterous.
The extent to which gang culture pervades in other localities cannot be underestimated. This in itself poses very real and urgent threats to both businesses and residents alike; however it does not take into account the number and 'presence' of gangs in surrounding areas of some of these active gang communities, which can at any given time, have a detrimental impact on the streets of London and many other major cities in the uk.
