The Gifted

Who we are

Our Vision is that all young people lead healthy, happy lives. 

Our Mission is to inspire and empower young people, especially the most vulnerable and disadvantaged. 

Our interactive workshops, mentoring and creative activities boost wellbeing, resilience and aspirations. 

Our Values guide all that we do:

Everyone has gifts. We’re The Gifted. We’re dynamic, creative and honest. We connect and we make a real difference:

• Everyone’s welcome here. We focus on strengths and qualities and help unlock potential
• We say it like it is. We’re human.  We are adaptable. We take chances. We try new things. We learn. Creativity helps us discover and succeed
• We bring people together. We support each other to be our best.  We are a team
• We help people amaze themselves and others. 

We work with a wide range of amazing young people who are dealing with a wide range of challenges and needs often related to disadvantages such as poverty, health, employment, crime, housing and/or lack of access to education. Many have problems or worries including:

·Low educational attainment and/or not in education, training or employment

·Excluded or at risk of being excluded from school

·Mental health and/or substance misuse problems

·Exploitation and abuse at home or elsewhere

We work with young people in a range of settings who need extra support; young offenders, young carers, young people in care, young people with disabilities, and others with particular needs and excluded from society.

Based in Cheshunt, we work in Hertfordshire, West Essex and North London wherever there is both a need and an opportunity. We work in partnership with a range of organisations in the area. 

We are a small charity with a big impact. Young people are the heart and soul of all we do. We'd love to hear from you if you are interested in joining our team.
