Idris Elba has emphasized the urgent need to address youth violence and the trauma it causes during a meeting with police and community leaders. He expressed confidence that the government would pay attention to the issue. Elba's support extends to initiatives like the Premier League Kicks programme, which offers free football sessions for at-risk youth. He highlighted the importance of understanding trauma and belonging in preventing knife crime and violence, noting that feedback from teenagers indicates such programs have a positive impact on their lives.
I describe myself as someone who's got a soapbox. I'm a parent, that's it. I'm no expert on youth crime, but I do know we're in a crisis.
There was a massive real impact of it and that sense of belonging was important in the understanding about trauma, dialogue and understanding.
