There is something special about seeing a young person overcome the inequality of opportunity or circumstances outside of their control. In each of our students we’re hoping to plant that spark of aspiration, to nurture a sense of hope that they can direct their own future, and to enable them to reach their goals. We want to see a society where no young person is disadvantaged, sidelined or disempowered by the circumstances of their upbringing. Instead, we want to see vulnerable children accessing the same opportunity and carrying the same aspiration as everyone else, so that they can fulfil their potential and enrich and advance our world.

We’re doing this by:

• Building a different kind of teaching community, one made up of resourceful, resilient, caring tutors, who are ceaselessly driven by the profound impact they can have on young lives.

• Enabling these tutors to provide effective, empathetic, life-changing tuition to children living in care and disadvantage.

"I believe in community, and the ability of art to bring people together, to educate, to enlighten or just open up avenues that allow everyone to let their hair down or up, and express without fear. This is why I give my time freely to engage in workshops that do exactly that, especially where it concerns the under privileged"
"I like to collaborate on a good project, one that requires improvisation, imagination and risk. I have partaken in a few exciting projects and I have consistently left each situation with an expanded mind and a smiling heart"

Ofsted has recognised our work as a ‘high-quality provision for mentoring’. We have had many success stories and testimonials, working with young people that other services were incapable of engaging or supporting.

For male perpetrators, we have developed a two-stage model based on principles of counselling. This is a 30-week programme which starts with a suitability assessment, followed by 13 weeks of one to one counselling and then 16 weeks of group counselling.  We help break into the cycle of abuse and violence by challenging and supporting perpetrators to take responsibility for their actions and stop altogether their abusive, angry and violent behaviours.

Families Anonymous in the UK first started in London in 1980. It is a world-wide fellowship of family members and friends affected by another's abuse of mind-altering substances, or related behavioural problems. FA has groups, spread throughout the country, which meet regularly. Any concerned person is encouraged to attend the meetings, even if there is only a suspicion of a problem. The Fellowship is a self-help organisation with a programme based on the 12 Steps and 12 Traditions first formulated by Alcoholics Anonymous.

There are now some 50 groups in various parts of the country.

The aim of the group is to help the family and friends of people with a current, suspected or former drug problem by providing mutual support and to offer a forum where experiences and anxieties can be shared. In the group members learn to come to terms with the problem that is disrupting their lives. Attending meetings helps members adopt an honest and consistent approach towards the addict. This in turn often brings him/her to realise that he/she needs help to live without drugs. Experience has shown that help for the family and friends means important help for the drug-dependent person.

Family pressures can sometimes be difficult to manage without emotional support and guidance to help. Many people feel confused by what information is available or struggle to access services close to home.

Our free FamilyLine service tackles these issues in a new and innovative way by using a network of volunteers from across the country to support family members over the age of 18 through telephone calls, email, web chat and text message.

The service aims to:

• provide both immediate and long-term support
• help with practical information and guidance
• provide emotional and listening support
• help with understanding and accessing relevant services and information
• provide regular one-to-one befriending support to service users feeling isolated
• access to short term telephone counselling
• a referral into our many projects across England and Wales, where relevant.

We use a team of trained volunteers with the knowledge and experience of family issues to support service users via telephone, text, web chat and email.

We are here to provide a listening ear, answer particular parenting questions or help with guidance around more complex family issues. We can also provide longer-term support through regular sessions with our Befrienders and Counsellors. All support takes place via telephone, text message, web chat or email and is free.

Family Lives was formally registered as a charity in 1999, and operated under the name of Parentline Plus. The charity's original formation as Parentline was founded in response to the tragic child abuse case of Maria Colwell in 1973, who was killed by her step-father. The parents that founded Parentline believed that there needed to be a dedicated organisation supporting parents, before they reached crisis point which could result in abuse. A merger in 1999 between the National Stepfamilies Association, Parentline and Parent Network built on the collective experience of these three charities, to provide a range of national and local services to support parents and families across the country.

“The Fawcett Society is the UK’s leading membership charity campaigning for gender equality and women’s rights at work, at home and in public life. Our vision is a society in which women and girls in all their diversity are equal and truly free to fulfil their potential creating a stronger, happier, better future for us all. We’ve been advancing women’s equality since 1866 when at just 19, Millicent Fawcett collected signatures on a petition for women’s votes. She went on to lead the constitutional suffrage campaign and made this cause her lifetime’s work, securing equal voting rights 62 years later. Today we continue her legacy of fighting sexism and gender inequality through hard-hitting research.

Faron writes:

I believe I have come up with a strategy to help persuade them to give up their weapons with minimal resistance and in fact a keen willingness but it's going to cost a little. However, I promise it won't cost anywhere near the amount of a funeral or a court case."

Fegans can be that solution.

We can provide qualified psychotherapists at reasonably short notice to work within a school and address some of those issues that can be so challenging for schools to resolve.

Fight for Peace supports young people in communities affected by crime and violence by creating new opportunities for them and supporting them to make the most of existing opportunities.

We are providing professionals with training to understand and be more aware of gang culture and associated behaviours.

At Catch22 we understand the challenges faced by gang-involved young people and their families. Our work targets and builds on service users' strengths to prevent individuals becoming involved in gangs and help support those involved to safely exit.

Our extensive experience has afforded us with the expertise to support and develop professionals to effectively engage this cohort, maximising outcomes achieved. Using this experience, we have developed a full-day training session for professionals.

Our full-day training session is 6 hours and can be delivered online or face-to-face.

Our full-day training session for professionals covers for example gang culture, serious youth violence and associated behaviours,
gang activity within the community, how to recognise key warning signs, and much more.

Founded by Sheldon Thomas, Gangsline is a non-profit organisation established in 2007 to provide help and support to young men and women involved in gang culture.  We work with individuals from the deprived parts of our communities and with deeply entrenched social, educational, spiritual and family issues.  Central to our ethos and success is a proactive, spiritual and non-enforcement led approach to gangs, and the gang violence embedded in our local communities.

Gangsline’s beginning came as a result of receiving a small funding grant to support individuals and families who were fearful about the involvement of people they knew in gangs. Since then Gangsline has expanded from an information and advice service to a highly successful and respected outreach and mentoring service, under the name Targeted Against Gangs (TAG).

Today Gangsline delivers its unique services by providing a proactive and reactive approach that offers support and exit strategies to young men and women involved in gangs, and an effective prevention service to young people on the peripheries of gang activity. Our specialist outreach response team – all of whom are ex-gang members themselves – are uniquely placed to access and work alongside even the most high risk gang leaders and members.

Since its inception Gangsline has effectively addressed the root causes of why young people turn to the ‘comfort’ that gang membership provides. These reasons may be incomprehensible to mainstream society, but issues such as family breakdown, anger, the consequences of societal rejection, emotional hurt, unresolved conflict, a (missing) sense of belonging, the dangers of the disillusioned and the despair of struggling parents and absent fathers have all had a massive contribution to the choices made by many of our socially excluded young people. In response to the presented issues, Gangsline has a no holds barred approach that focuses on notions of responsibility, morality, positive thinking, anger management, self- belief, leadership, success and purpose.

We identify young people who have the motivation to launch their career, and dedicated mentors work with them to ensure they complete the programme successfully

Many employers struggle to find entry-level staff with the right technical skills and personal attributes needed to perform in the role.

Gendered Intelligence, established in 2008, is a registered charity that exists to increase understandings of gender diversity and improve trans people's quality of life.

We are a trans-led and trans-involving grassroots organisation with a wealth of lived experience, community connections of many kinds, and a depth and breadth of trans community knowledge that is second to none. We believe everyone can be intelligent about gender! There are multiple strands to our work. For more information about who we are go to our about us section or see below.

Gendered Intelligence run trans youth groups in London, Leeds and online for a range of ages from 7 to 30. We also run groups specifically for young trans people of colour and transfeminine young people, as well as extra projects such as a swimming group, Nature Connections and Youth Board.

Our youth groups are open to all young trans people, no matter how you identify or whether you are questioning your gender. We use trans as an umbrealla term and are fully inclusive of non-binary individuals; please don't worry about not feeling 'trans enough'.

There is no fee to access our youth groups. We can reimburse travel for at least £7 per person at every session if the cost of travel would prevent you from getting to the groups.

At the youth groups you can:

• Meet other young trans, transgender, non-binary or gender questioning people, socialise, make friends, have fun and get some support
• Find out information about coming out / disclosing, transitioning, your rights as a trans child, teenager or young adult, how to negotiate life post-transition, and more
• Have a safe and supportive space to explore your gender identity if you're questioning, be yourself if you're not out, or have an opportunity to chat about trans stuff.

We want a society in which single parent families are treated equally and fairly.

To get there, we provide information to help single parents support themselves and their family. And we campaign and influence policy to reduce stigma against single parents, and make services more accessible to all families – whatever their shape or size.

We're a Charitable Social Enterprise owned by our staff and founded on our purpose and values to provide a different, fairer and better way of doing business. Our purpose is to improve the physical, mental and social wellbeing of local communities.

As the UK's leading provider of both Leisure Centres and Libraries we operate over 400 locations all helping to make a real difference to local communities and local people.

Every penny that GLL makes is reinvested back into the business to support our social purpose.

In 1993, Greenwich Council needed to find a new way to run its leisure centres because of public spending cuts and together, we came up with a new model. The first of its kind in UK leisure. GLL was born.

Seven centres were transferred to us, and success quickly followed. We created jobs and added new services to existing leisure centres. Since then, we've built lots of new facilities in the UK and our membership has gone from about 7,000 to more than 850,000 with 58 million visitors a year.

In 1996, we began expanding outside Greenwich and now run all kinds of community services and spaces across the UK - from Belfast to Bromley, Carlisle to Cardiff.

‍What do we do?
‍
We exist to make community services and spaces better for everyone. That means providing affordable access to quality community leisure and fitness facilities. We manage more than 270 public sport and leisure centres, 113 libraries in partnership with 50 local councils, public agencies and sporting organisations.

‍Where are we heading?
‍
GLL is now almost 29 years old and we're as excited about the future today, as we were back in 1993.

At GLL we don't just run Leisure Centres, Swimming Pools or Lido's or Gyms, we provide for the whole community running Libraries, Theatre's, Children's Centres, Playgrounds, Nurseries and so much more. All of which we run in our charitable, community focused way.

We believe our values and purpose have never been more relevant and hope we can continue to make a difference in as many communities as possible across the UK.

We make maps that help direct aid.

We have a passion and vision to inspire and support long-term sustainable development by mapping the gaps in self-empowering opportunities for people at the ground level, so that international donors, development NGOs and government agencies can clearly see where they need to put their energies.

Global MapAid or simply "MapAid" is a social enterprise working with local people, to help them identify & map local solutions (hotspots) for their development, to help prevent disasters. The maps benefit policy makers, donors, non-government organisations and corporate social responsibility organisations, by focusing efforts where most needed. Additionally, some of our maps are designed for use by vulnerable people.

We aim to prevent & divert young people from crime, antisocial behaviour, exclusion from education and ‘care’ through building positive relationships, education, diversion activities and community cohesion. They specialise in using sport as a tool to engage and create change. They teach Boxing, Jiu Jitsu, Yoga & Fitness. They also offer a mentoring programme.

GoodGym is a fast growing social startup which channels the energy wasted during exercise into social good. We connect runners, or those who want to get fit, with physical tasks which benefit their community. GoodGym is a not-for-profit social enterprise based in East London.

Our vision is a world where local communities can easily share their skills, expertise and time with each other - without intermediaries, silos or middle men. Among our many project we  

• Have created a community service in Southwark which supported 447 unemployed local residents into jobs in the Shard

• Are collaborating with business networks to build a hyper-local labour market for the South Bank

We use tech to connect people (and their skills, abilities and interests), with opportunities around them.

Our matching tech can be used to connect volunteers with opportunities to support their community, build flexible labour markets to connect people with good part-time work, or digitally enable the service delivery of charities or local authorities.

We work with a variety of public and private partners - from NHS Trusts, Local Authorities and foundations, to corporates and business networks.

But what underpins all of our work is a desire to enable everyone to thrive, by better connecting people with good opportunities.

We believe in empowering individuals and communities to be a force for good. But what unites all of our work is a belief in the transformative power of community - and the opportunity to connect government, employers and individuals to build it.

Good People has many corporate partners listed on the website.

Good Vibrations supports people in challenging circumstances through communal music-making.

Grow Transform Belong is a Community Interest Company that strives to serve the community by providing services that empower people and organizations, to grow and connect. The vision of GTB CIC is to create an inclusive and safe community, uniting with like-minded people, to make a collective impact.

For over two decades we have supported the voluntary and community sector to be at the heart of providing solutions to Hackney’s problems.

As an important local organisation and umbrella body for the sector we are committed to making Hackney a fairer place because we believe everyone should have the best start in life and the best opportunities to succeed regardless of their background, race, social class, gender, sexuality or disability.

We see our role interchangeably as enabler, facilitator, champion and servant to local communities.

Hackney Quest was started by a small team in 1988 to provide positive activities for the community’s young people. A Borough which suffers significant deprivation, Hackney has always had a large number of young people in need of positive engagement, to help them to develop skills and reach their potential. Young people have remained at the core of what we do, but through the years we have broadened our activities in recognition of wider needs in the community. Young people can only flourish when their parents and carers are well supported, and everyone benefits from living in a strong, unified community. It is with this in mind that we have developed our community services, including parenting and nutrition classes, education support, confidential listening and signposting, and community volunteering. Many of our community activities take place in the Frampton Park Youth & Family Centre, which we have run as a second centre since 2012. Thanks to the long term commitment of our staff, the variety of services that we offer, and the all-through support that we provide, we have a uniquely warm family atmosphere. All our staff, volunteers and beneficiaries are part of a strong, tight-knit, caring community. Despite the many changes that Hackney has gone through over the course of Hackney Quest’s 28-year history, poverty and deprivation remain major issues: the area surrounding Hackney Quest remains in the top 10% most deprived areas of the country. Many other problems, such as crime and educational disadvantage, stem from this. Through all of our programmes and activities, we remain dedicated to helping the young people and families in our community overcome these challenges in order to reach their full potential.

Why not join one of Half Moon's Youth Theatre groups? It's a brilliant way to explore drama, create performances and make lots of new friends at the same time. We have eight groups for 5–18 year-olds in East London interested in theatre that run during term time.

Half Moon Theatre specialises in theatre productions and educational programs for young people, with performances tailored to different age groups and workshops designed to develop creativity and theatrical skills.

The Hard Calls Save Lives campaign is led by five mothers, who have lost their sons to knife crime.  It is supported by Crimestoppers and the Metropolitan Police.  In the campaign, the mothers describe the sons they lost and the calls they had to make following their son’s murders.  They are calling for people to call the independent charity, anonymously, with knife crime information.

If you have information about knife crime and want to remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers. Their service is available via phone and online 24 hours a day, seven days a week 0800 555 111.

Calling to report knife crime information is hard but there are harder calls – visit www.hardcallssavelives.co.uk for more information.

The 'Hope Collective' is a partnership cohort of organisations who share a passion to provide our young people with ambition, opportunity, something to aspire to... a hope for a better and brighter future. We aim to engage with young people the length and breadth of the United Kingdom and provide them with a voice and a platform to assist them to realise their dreams and their goals. A UK wide societal public health approach to safeguarding and nurturing young people. Sadly, we see plenty of evidence of what happens when young people are not given these opportunities, when the concrete and steel of inner cities and a daily struggle to survive is what they face... a life bereft of hope.

As a society, we tend to focus on the negative image of our next generation, whereas, in reality, our young people are worth so much more. We believe that, if they are given a platform and the correct level of support, they can set an agenda that transforms lives and the world in which they live. The Hope Collective believes that the levelling up discussion taking place within the adult establishment, needs to have young people front and centre of the discussion. The more we see equal opportunity for all young people, the fairer society we will become.

We started in 2021 with that agenda, to 'change the conversation', to be more positive about young people's ability to effect change and to listen to what they think and what they say. Report after report into the problems impacting young people highlighted the fact that poverty and inequality was the problem. Symptoms such as knife crime manifested, showing how important it was to reframe the narrative. The narrative had just stayed the same! Working with the newly established network of Violence Reduction Units (VRU's) across the UK, we engaged with our numerous partner organisations – the National Citizen Service, UK Youth, Youthlink Scotland, the Coop, Rio Ferdinand Foundation, Onside Youth Zones, Tigers, 2020 Change, Spirit of London Awards Foundation, Professional Footballers Association (PFA), NHS, YMCA Wales, Oasis Youth and many more – to put together a pilot series of Hope Hack events at which young people could attend and discuss the issues impacted by poverty and inequality.

These took place in London, Greater Manchester, Belfast, Glasgow and Cardiff and our young people responded in numbers to provide their views on issues such as: POVERTY AND INEQUALITY/MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH /RACISM AND DIVISION /THE ENVIRONMENT AND HOUSING/EMPLOYMENT AND EDUCATION

Hope Street has been created to help break the stigma attached to those suffering from poor mental health, particularly anxiety and depression.

Hope Street is a place dedicated to helping others feel valued, inspired and most importantly accepted. From personal experience the founders of Hope Street know all too well the feelings of isolation desperation and loneliness that can come with suffering from anxiety and depression but also for those who care on a day to day basis for their friends and loved ones.

Our goal is to ensure that everyone who walks through our doors feels welcome and their experience with us provides a sense of belonging, inspiration and hope.

Each week they will hear from others who have been in their position, whose minds have been invaded by the very thoughts they are experiencing but who have come through those times to discover and experience happier times. They will also discover techniques that can help to relieve their mind of stress or anxiety.

We also realise that mental illness doesn't only affect those with poor mental health but those who care for their loved one's on a day to day basis, after all how can you understand how a loved one feels if they can't understand it themselves. Hope Street will give carers the opportunity to be around others experiencing similar situations, feelings and loneliness.

Overall our aim is to ensure anyone who visits Hope Street leaves feeling better when they leave than when they first walked through the door.

PLEASE NOTE: We don't have any trainers or training providers affiliated with Hope St. We offer all of our courses free of charge at present.

Human Rights Solidarity (HRS) is a registered human rights charity dedicated to preventing knife crime across London. Grounded in the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights, HRS reframes youth violence not as a criminal justice issue, but as a human rights failure, a systemic denial of young people's fundamental rights to safety, dignity, and mental health support. At the heart of HRS's approach is the belief that knife crime among young people is, first and foremost, a mental health crisis. Alongside its advocacy work, the charity provides direct mentoring to young people, helping them access essential services, build positive friendships, and find their place in communities that protect rather than endanger them. HRS raises public awareness, conducts community-rooted research, submits evidence to Parliament, and advocates for structural change. The organisation also convenes strategic roundtables that bring together youth workers, clinicians, academics, police commanders, and community leaders, not to dwell on what is going wrong, but to focus on what must work by 2035. For partnership enquiries, please contact Burak Batuhan Karakus, Executive Director, at batuhan@hrsolidarity.org.
