JOIN the fight to give every uk teenager somewhere to socialise in real life
Over three quarters (78%) of British teenagers feel worried when socialising in public. They’re concerned about physical threats, being followed, or being shouted at by adults. So much so, that nearly half (45%) of teens would now prefer to stay at home than meet up with friends.
No wonder they’re suffering from record levels of loneliness, depression, self-harm and suicide.
Enough is enough.
It’s time the nation sat up and took notice of the chronic lack of spaces for teenagers to hang-out face-to-face with friends. That’s why we’ve taken to the streets to signpost the thoroughly uninspiring options that remain in our local communities for under-18s to socialise.
Change begins with everyone, everywhere raising their voices.
So if have an area near you which is intimidating, miserable or downright dull for teenagers, and deserves an ATSA sign, let us know!
