We're refurbishing a gym and games room as part of a major work to create a world class youth centre for young people in London offering sports, music, arts, mentoring, volunteering, support finding work, employment through social enterprise and trips to both UK and international destinations.

Beneficiaries
Situation
Many of the young people we know have unhealthy lives, low self esteem, little hope for their future, limited ability to take opportunities and negative attitudes towards their community. The majority of their families receive State or Local Authority Benefits due to low incomes or worklessness. These young people are at risk of: exclusion from school, becoming NEET (not in education employment or training), becoming a young parent, exploitation, or getting involved with gangs.
Solution
The gym and games room will host positive activities designed to develop participants in areas important to their social and economic futures. We create opportunities for young people to: • Grow their self-worth, self-esteem and self-confidence. • Improve key social skills • Improved their attitudes and behaviour towards communities (i.e, families, peers, teachers and/or employers).
