Tender is an arts charity working with young people to prevent domestic abuse and sexual violence by promoting healthy relationships based on equality and respect.
What we do
We Work with Young People, Adults, and the Wider Community
Using theatre and the arts, we engage young people in violence prevention workshops within their schools, enabling them to recognise and avoid abuse and violence. Our workshops can be adapted to many groups.
If you want to help us to prevent domestic and sexual violence, there is so much that you can do! Our work is stopping abuse in its tracks and you can be a part of the movement.
What our users say...
"Through games as well as intriguing activities, I have learnt statistics about abuse, types of abuse, how the victim feels, how abuse can affect the future of victims, how victims can be supported and charities that can help."
Female, 14, Whitmore High School
“They taught us stuff while entertaining, which isn’t easy to do…”
Young woman, 16
"My eyes have been opened to the world of relationships and what is healthy and unhealthy in a relationship"

“You can't fake it as a charity patron, even if you're an actor”

I believe that the work Tender is doing with young people, educating them about healthy and unhealthy relationships, is important, inspiring and imperative. Domestic violence prevention education can make a real difference in the lives of young people, and I am happy to give my support to an organisation that is pioneering this effort.
