Northumberland Park is in the top 5% of most disadvantaged areas in the country. Levels of crime, unemployment, low income, subtance abuse, prostitution and gang violence are high. Over the last 6 months, there have been 2 shootings in the neighbourhood, and there is an ongoing knife crime problem. Though there are some youth centres in the area, there is a huge lack of outdoor spaces where young people can thrive, and that adults trust.

We will run Youth Sessions every Wednesday from 3-6pm at our adventure playground in Northumberland Park. We support young people to have a positive and fulfilling life, now and in the future. We will also run activities to help young people acquire new skills relevant to their age group, such as campfire building, woodcraft, and cooking. Our team of fully trained youth workers will provide young people and their families with additional support and signposting according to their needs.
