Please help us raise £40,000 this Christmas, so young people will have access to our services and opportunities that otherwise wouldn't be open to them. For every £1 donated our sponsors will match £2

We are a fantastic youth charity, committed to supporting local young people through our youth centres and our work directly on Islington's streets. We have been keeping young people safe, providing new opportunities and skills for over 20 years. Last year alone we reached 1,200 vulnerable young people on the streets, provided support and advice. We delivered training to 58 young people in our media suite, where young people have developed skills in music and video production, DJing, photography and podcasting. We helped 150 young people, attending our youth centre during evenings, weekends and school holidays, providing a safe space to engage young people in positive activities and make new friends.

Our services are life changing for many youths who improve their confidence and self-esteem, learn new skills, make better informed life decisions, make improvements to their physical and mental health and build better futures as a result of our work.

Many of the young people we work with feel unsafe, isolated, lack confidence and are struggling with their mental health. Some are involved with anti-social behaviour and criminal activity. We are successful in turning many young lives around, by providing the help and support they need, changing behaviours and recognising their potential.
