EMPOWERING YOUTH
Dreams 2 Reality is a specialist service designed around youth for youth. It specialises in supporting young people impacted by or at risk of youth crime, violence, and gangs.
​
What makes us unique is we are 100% led by ex-offenders and people with lived experience that mirror the people we support. In turn our support is relevant, meaningful, and impactful. This fact not only makes us effective at supporting young people at risk, but our success is also validation that the cycle can be broken.
​
D2R is also proud to be a BAME led organisation and a reflection of those disproportionately impacted by the effects of crime, violence, and gangs. This not only allows us to break down barriers to engagement it gives us integrity with the cohorts we support
V​IOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND GIRLS
​
Sabina Nessa, Sarah Everard, Tiffany Regis, Child Q, have entered our lexicon highlighting a tragic and growing epidemic of violence against women and girls. Government responses have swayed between inadequate and useless. Rape convictions currently sit at 1.6% of reported cases meaning a staggering 98.4% of reported rape isn’t investigated and perpetrators free to walk free. Find out more about our work on VAWG and how we aim to do our part in eradicating it.
