Ambition Aspire Achieve

Who we are

Ambition Aspire Achieve exists to improve the lives of children and young people (ages 5-25) in the London Borough of Newham, providing fully inclusive opportunities and experiences. We focus on supporting our areas most disadvantaged, at-risk and vulnerable young people through a range of projects and activities, providing support to help them overcome challenges, offering short, medium and long-term interventions that enable each young person to achieve their full potential.

We deliver a wide range of projects and services based out of our youth hubs, the Terence Brown Arc in the Park in Canning Town and the Glyn Hopkin Abbey Hub in Stratford, and across local communities in Newham via a programme of detached outreach work. Starting early, we work with children as young as 5 years old, right up to 19 as young people transition into early adulthood. Reflecting our approach that every young child and person deserves the best chance in life, our work now reaches over 900 children and young people every year, including large numbers who are vulnerable and at-risk.
