We believe in putting thought behind every kick, every throw, every metre. We empower young people to build positive relationships, further personal goals & contribute to their community. BEK does this through a unique & in-depth programme of training & skill development working across all sports.

    Situation

    We work with youth sport clubs in areas of London scoring lower on the socio-economic scale as statistically young people in these areas face greater challenges & have less opportunities. The common problems facing them are poor peer relationships, lack of positive role models, low self-esteem due to negative attitudes of wider society & high levels of temptation into gang related activity, violence & petty crime. Coupled with a lack of structure cause them to lack aspiration about their future.

    Solution

    BEK Development -interactive sessions combining sport training with self-development objectives BEK Connect -Connecting young people with environments to which they can aspire, a platform to explore opportunities open to them BEK Alumni -Advice, a chat or even a refresher session. Also, an opportunity for one-time mentees to become mentors Mentoring -Providing a chance to build a meaningful relationship, a consistent trustworthy sounding board at a significant and pressured time in their lives
