We've been supporting young people from Brixton for the last 30 years and we want to make sure we can do so for another 30, and then some! With your help we can continue to support young people find safety, purpose, and opportunity, all through the transformative power of horses.

Brixton is a vibrant & complex community, shaped by a history of economic deprivation and inequality. Despite its rich culture, the area faces some of the highest levels of child poverty in the UK. We know that young people in Brixton are disproportionately affected by youth violence, school exclusions, and limited access to safe spaces outside of school. Challenges that are compounded by socio-economic disadvantage and the rising cost of living.
At Ebony, we work with children and young people who are most vulnerable to these pressures. 98% of our participants come from households earning £23,000 or less per year. We provide a safe, inclusive environment where young people can build life skills, resilience, and a sense of belonging through riding, horse care, mentoring, and youth work. By tackling the barriers created by poverty, inequality, and exclusion, we create diversionary pathways that keep young people safe, happy and inspired.
