Objectives

OUR VISION

We want to see more children, young people and families in Newham and east London leading happy healthy lives, realising their potential and unlocking their ambition.

OUR MISSION

Using an integrated and community focused approach we will make long long-lasting change, offering opportunity, community and inspiration to children, families and young people in Newham and east London.

 

Activities

We provide a range of children and youth programmes and family support both virtually and based at our Community Centres in Newham. We also act as a ‘Community Anchor’, providing space to a wide range of community groups and small businesses.

Our work with children focuses on prevention and early intervention, building children’s mental and physical wellbeing and resilience through an informal education and play programme, providing breakfast club, after school club and holiday scheme, and informal support and advice and food distribution to families.

Our work with young people includes a range of youth programmes, all of which are developed and led by young people. Our social action and youth employability programmes build young people’s leadership and employability skills, and increase their confidence and self-esteem. We also support young people with their mental health and mental wellbeing, and 'Living with COVID'.

Our Community Connectors programme works with adults with mental health issues, supporting them with a wide range of social, emotional and practical concerns.
