This campaign has now closed
Help us support our members, their families and our community through a varied programme of activities. In response to Covid-19 lockdown we have completed a extensive evaluation campaign & established the need for a strong virtual provision for members & an advice giving service for their families.

Beneficiaries
Situation
•Support Young People to Deal with the physical/mental effects of Covid -19 •Few affordable opportunities that appeal to young people’s wants/needs - around 38% of children in Westminster living in poverty. •Lack of places to go that are safe; with threats of high crime/gang culture on estates. Westminster has one of the highest rates of violent/drug related crime in the whole of London. •Intense social media and device-led pressure and the the challenges it puts on young people’s mental health
Solution
We aim to enrich young lives of local young people, aged 5 to adulthood from diverse backgrounds, many on tight budgets, by providing activities that are enabling, educational & participative in a safe, neutral environment. In response to the Covid-19 pandemic we have maintained engagement with our members over the last year, by adapting from physical to virtual provisions; to delivery of activity packs & food parcels to families; to maintaining contact with members/families by check in calls
