Abianda is a not-for-profit brand that focuses on working with young women affected by gangs and county lines. Led by Abi Billinghurst, the brand offers a range of services to support and empower vulnerable young women. These services include the Star Project, which provides both one-to-one and group work sessions.

Abianda also offers rescue and response initiatives, as well as gender mainstreaming and consultancy services. Abi's background in youth work and her collaborations with various organizations have enabled her to develop participatory approaches to working with vulnerable adolescents. She has worked alongside the International Centre at the University of Bedfordshire, supporting specialist social care teams in implementing strengths and participatory approaches to tackling child sexual exploitation.

Additionally, Abi has been involved in writing training tools for young people and professionals, focusing on preventing sexual violence.
