Theo Thompson from youth group organisation Young Solihull has collaborated with Birmingham rapper Vader to create the song ‘Don’t Pass the Parcel’. The song and music video was funded by the West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner’s Community Initiatives Fund, which uses money seized from criminals. The song aims to educate young people on the dangers of becoming involved in county lines drugs gangs. Young people have been made even more vulnerable by COVID-19, not being in school has made them easier targets to exploit making this video more important than ever.
