What difference will you make?

Since its launch, OSN has gone on to facilitate workshops with staff and students at schools across England, including taking on key contracts with local authorities and the Welsh government. We’ve led work with local authorities to make their high streets safer. We’ve worked with hundreds of university ambassadors and given expert testimony to Parliament on the impact of PSH on campuses, and provide solutions. 

We are very excited for what 2024/25 brings and to welcome new more board members to help us achieve our goals.
