Giving Youngg People a better Future in Gosple Oak

Giving young people a better future.Our work targets the most vulnerable young people in Gospel Oak, London Borough of Camden, which ranks in the bottom 5% of the Government's Indices of Deprivation across all indicators including income level, employment and educational attainment.

Why the community needs us

GOAL is based in Queen's Crescent, Gospel Oak, in an area dominated by overcrowded social housing where many young people grow up in households of very limited means, have low aspirations and few opportunities in life. With over 40% of the local population under the age of 19 years, there are severe pressures on services to contain the many causes of social disanvantage ranging from unemployment and substance abuse to broken families.

Our impact on the community

All projects have clear aims and objectives, and we regularly record the difference we are making. As a result, we have improved accountability and we actively encourage young people to have a say in how we design our projects. We have widened the range of projects we run in order to give young people new skills and oppurtunities. We deliver youth clubs from two venues, accredited courses, trips, residential weekends and specialist projects in art, music, drama and sport.

Volunteers needed

We are always looking for volunteer youth workers and volunteer mentors.
