Act on it now

Relationships

We are Act on it Now. We’ve been around since 2015 when Cheshire charity, My CWA, noticed there was a lack of support out there to help teenagers & young people to form healthy relationships. 

Since then, we’ve helped thousands of young people to improve their relationships.

National Crime Agency

County Lines

The National Crime Agency leads the UK’s fight to cut serious and organised crime, protecting the public by targeting and pursuing those criminals who pose the greatest risk to the UK. 

The Childrens Society

We are there for young people when they need it most. We see something inside every one of them - hope. Children come to us for help, to talk about their feelings, their trauma. They come to us when their way forward is uncertain, they don't know what choice to make.
