Last week, LPS had a visit from Narrative Alchemy to deliver a performance around county lines.

The play and post-show talk last for 55 minutes and raises awareness around:-

  • What is CountyLines and how can it affect young people

  • The Grooming Process and how it can apply to County Lines

  • Where to go for help and advice

CountyLines is our innovative applied theatre play that raises awareness around the County Lines model of Child Criminal Exploitation (CCE)

Meet Dex.  He’s a nice guy.  He’ll offer you money.  He’ll offer you drugs.  He’ll be generous.  He’ll make you feel important.  He’ll make you feel part of something.  He’ll make your life exciting.  He’ll do whatever it takes to get you working for him and his mates… and when you do…

Meet Dex.  He’s a scary guy.  He’ll say you owe him money.  He’ll make you deal drugs and move packages.  He’ll blackmail you.  He’ll be violent.  He’ll make you terrified.  He’ll threaten your family.  He’ll turn your life upside down.  He’ll do whatever it takes to keep you working for him and his mates…  and he’s good at it!
