We seek to equip, encourage and support young people by building relationships and serving others.

Oxygen helps some of the most disadvantaged and vulnerable young people to discover their identity, understand their potential and encourages them to aspire to achieve great things. Oxygen is a youth work charity which was conceived by a group of Christian young people who wanted to make a difference in the lives of their peers and respond to the needs they could see in the community. We deliver a range of programmes, activities and training to young people in and around Kingston upon Thames.

Why the community needs us
We help young people to discover their skills and understand their potential. Using a range of youth clubs, projects and activities, we provide young people the opportunity to develop and achieve their goals and enable them to make a contribution to their community.

Activity/Care packs
Oxygen is in the process of making up activity/care packs to support young people who are isolated at home, not able to socialise with their friends or wider family. Starting with Kingsnympton Estate, the packs will contain different activities suitable to their ages, aimed a giving them a range of creative things to make and do. The young people will be getting things like a brownie making kit, a letter from a member of the team and challenge for them to do. We are also sending them a pair of jeans from the Oxygen shop to up-cycle!
We will be following up the packs with a weekly zoom youth club so that they can share what they have done, connect with each other and be supported by our team.
If you would like to sponsor a pack they cost round £20 each and will give each young person a real sense of being valued, supported and give them hope. We target our work to engage those young people most at risk from exclusion, isolation, bullying, and suffering mental health issues.
