The Safe Space on Wheels is run by Anima Youth and stops at locations across the borough.
It offers a comfortable and private environment for girls and young women seeking guidance, safety or support.
Boys are also welcome to use the service to learn about cultivating healthy relationships.
Eloise Ofori, Chief Executive at Anima Youth, said: “Our Safe Space on Wheels allows us to meet young people where they are, on their terms. This minibus is warm, familiar, and designed entirely with their needs in mind.
“We’re also committed to working with boys and young men, because preventing violence against women and girls means addressing the attitudes and pressures they face too. This is about building a safer Croydon for everyone.”
“As part of our violence against women and girls delivery plan we committed to doing more to make our borough safer for all. The work of our Town Centre Taskforce is doing just that, tackling issues and preventing them from happening again.
“Anima Youth is providing essential support to young people. They are relatable and their safe spaces are places where they know they can talk with trusted adults when needed. The safe space on wheels will make their services even more accessible for more young people. I look forward to seeing the minibus around North End.”
