We are an inclusive black female-led youth organisation that, through the use of mentoring tools and techniques, enables and equips young people from black and marginalised communities, in overcoming barriers to their progression and widening their access to opportunities.

Our main aim is to improve equity, social capital, and the social mobility of the young people we serve, with the ultimate mission to end the circle of poverty.
We do this by providing young people with safe spaces to reflect, explore and fail safely, whilst they develop the skillsand qualities to succeed. We also consultant and train in how to enhance youth engagement.​It is our ultimate mission to increase social capital and improve social mobility to end the circle of poverty for all young people.
Why the community needs us
As a community based youth organisation we know our service users extremely well and adapt well to changing needs. We offer a strong culturally competent support network where young people can grow their social currency and level of aspirations for their future. Because we are an agile organisation we are able to deliver all of our youth activities and mentoring on housing estates and within local areas that are accessible to the young people we serve.

Our impact on the community
Supporting 550 young people a year, we provide - free 1:1 progression and career mentoring, career mentoring projects and school holiday programmes. Regular feedback from participants has shown that participants have been able to meet up friends from their housing estate safely, improve their social skills, self esteem and understanding of career pathways. For young people who do not have access to safe outside space, they gain support with maintaining their mental wellbeing and improved their attitude towards learning.
