We are a charitable youth organisation, working with young people 11–19 years old with an extension to 25 years via our employability program. We believe that youths are the future but must first be equipped with valuable life skills to enable them better cope with challenges, understand how to transfer those skills learned to other aspects of their lives and aspire for greatness.

We do so much to ensure that the young people know who they are and their aspirations raised.

With the upsurge of knife crime and youth violence, in London. As a youth organisation embedded within the community we could not sit back and see more of our future leaders dying needlessly on the streets.

As part of our long term fundraising strategy, and the continuation of our services we are requesting for as little as £1 a month.


We are pleased to announce the support from our local authority — Croydon Council.
