Khulisa

Who we are

Khulisa, meaning to nurture in Zulu, is a small, national charity, working in London and Manchester.  We work with the hardest to reach young people, in deprived communities, at high risk of exclusion and involvement in crime. The young people we support have experienced early trauma: neglect, abuse, poverty and exploitation. We work in educational settings and communities, delivering intensive therapeutic programmes to explore root causes of emotional distress, build resilience and emotional wellbeing and teach coping skills. To ensure long term sustainable outcomes we support young people in their wider context, by delivering high-impact trauma training to professionals and families, to create trauma-informed environments.
