What's on
From family support, fitness classes and learning to art exhibitions, festivals and talks, our activities are wide and far reaching.
We provide young people with opportunities to socialise, develop new skills, keep fit and get involved with the community.
The chance to develop leadership skills
Becoming a young leader gives you the chance to develop and run your own projects, events and campaigns. Upgrade yourself through mentoring and tutoring and develop skills in a variety of subjects that boost confidence and achievement. Drop in at our youth night sessions to enjoy arts and crafts, multi-sport activities and get to know other young people in your neighbourhood.
Create change where you live
Talk to a politician, win funding to start a creative showcase or campaign for the things you want to change. Our youth forum recently won an award from London Youth who are supporting us as City Leaders to run a youth enterprise selling T-shirts to fund our new music studio.

My tutor, Nicholas is nice, funny and hard-working. When I don’t understand something, or I need help, he is there for me no matter what.
