We address multiple barriers to inclusion for women and girls, such as lack of English skills, learning opportunities, and employment access. Issues include school exclusions, poverty, poor housing, isolation, mental health challenges, discrimination, violence, abusive homes, and family breakdowns. Located in an underserved area in Lambeth, we combat the effects of gang crime, violence, and trauma, exacerbated by the ongoing cost of living crisis, which hinder academic and personal growth.

Baytree takes a person-centred approach, tailoring services to individual needs. We offer ESOL, integration support, and advocacy for asylum seekers, refugees, and migrants. Our mentoring programme pairs girls with mentors for weekly 1-2-1 sessions, building confidence, skills, and academic achievement. Our women’s coaching programme provides individualised support to help women realise their potential. Together, both programmes help women and girls set goals and work towards achieving them.
