Who we are

We empower young people to break through the barriers they face and build a future on their terms.

For 28 years, we’ve helped thousands in the most deprived boroughs in London beat their background. The young people we work with often struggle with issues like family breakdown, unemployment, educational failure, and live in areas that experience high levels of anti-social behaviour and gang violence. It’s a reality that batters potential, limits support and forces every inner-city future into a predictable statistic.

We fight for the young people that fly beneath the radar. Those who have been written off and ruled out; whose hope for the future is waning. We see the young people that others forget. ​Not only do we see their struggle and their circumstances, but we see their potential. In them, we see talent, we see skill, we see courage.
