We're raising funds to create life-changing experiences for teens from marginalised communities across London, using the combined power of football and filmmaking. With our support, they'll gain the skills, confidence, insight and access they need to forge new possibilities for their future selves.

Impact areas
London is a city full of wealth and opportunity, but it rarely feels that way for the teens we work with - when their focus is on surviving, they don't get the chance to imagine what thriving could be. The impacts of poverty, racism, youth violence, and systems that weren't built for them, all conspire to limit their potential - without intervention they don't get to access the experiences and environments that help them grow and become their full, flourishing selves.
We address the gaps that school cannot fill, with participatory programmes that nurture young people's holistic development. We start early, at ages 13–14 - the key transitional point when young people's ideas about themselves and their place in the world are beginning to solidify - and our intervention continues up to age 18. We create a lasting change to the trajectory of a life by providing sustained, relational social and emotional learning, and increasing access to new networks and spaces.
