The Nicholas Stewart Project (Community Interest Corporation) was set up by Jennifer Beckford, mother of Nicholas Stewart, after the tragic passing of her son in 2014, a victim of a knife crime.
The aim of the NSP is to support young people, empower them and provide them with a framework to become successful and contributing members of their local communities.

WHAT DO WE DO?
Our aim is to motivate and empower young people, to help them turn away from negative influences. We also provide for them and act as positive role models for young people.
We believe that through community care and respect, we can help our young people access a positive path, full of opportunities.
We provide resources to young people in Wandsworth and the surrounding areas, by supplying advice and assistance. We organise programmes of physical, educational and other activities, to support families who are affected by violent crimes.
The NSP aims to support young people, empower them and equip them with the tools necessary, to build their confidence to succeed in life.

Mission
NSP’s mission is to prevent violence amongst young people and support families and communities after the tragedy. Our goal is to create a safe space where young people and families are free to express their selves, improving collaboration, listening, understanding and empathy.
