The initiative, set up a decade ago by south London youth charity Redthread at King's College Hospital in Denmark Hill, will now be extended to all four major trauma centres in London following a £600,000 grant awarded by the Mayor of London's office.
The investment will enable Redthread to establish youth work services at St George's Hospital in south west London and the Royal London Hospital in east London, and extend existing schemes at King's and St Mary's Hospital in north west London, which was set up last year.
