#ConnectBelongStaySafe

We’re excited to launch our new Essex VVU hashtag #ConnectBelongStaySafe, and we’d love your support in spreading the message across Essex! 

This initiative is all about encouraging young people to find safe, supportive spaces where they can thrive – and the Essex Youth Map is a key part of that mission.  

The Essex Youth Map shows young people where there are clubs, groups and services in the local area where they live. By helping young people discover these safe spaces we’re building stronger communities and reducing vulnerability.  

So how can you help?  

📲 Post your support on your social media using the hashtag #ConnectBelongStaySafe 

🏷️ Tag the Essex VVU @essexvvu Instagram and Essex Violence and Vulnerability Unit on Facebook and help us amplify the message 

🔗 Encourage young people to explore the map and find their place to connect and belong 

Whether you’re a youth group, school, community organisation, local business or simply a supporter of great youth work, your voice matters. Together, we can create a safer, more connected Essex for everyone.
