Impact & reporting
Situation
For many young Londoners living in low- scoring socio -economic areas, the playing field is not level. As well as challenges around low self esteem, due to negative attitudes of wider society and a lack of positive role models, there is frequent inequality of opportunity, exposure to uninspiring environments and social and economic barriers to accessible pathways towards personal and career development. Covid has led to an even more uneven for young people living with disadvantage.
Solution
At Behind Every Kick we aim to put 'practice' into play' by delivering to schools & sports clubs, expertly designed skills development modules, alongside mentoring opportunities and work place experiences, connecting young people to businesses and individuals, paving ways towards employabitly, further education and enhanced career prospects. We are driven to give our young people the chance to practice and hone their learning so as to be able to put their skills and talents into play.
The BEK 'Boot Camp ' programme was excellent. Your sessions were highly relevant to what young people should be thinking about and your session delivery team were first class. My team was very lucky to have been on the programme and I look forward to encouraging their continued participation.

BEK has been a space where we have gained life skills as well as developed a better understanding of ourselves. We have also been given opportunities to connect with other students and professionals which feels helpful and supportive.
