Youth Empowerment
Empowering the Next Generation
We are a group of locals in Thames View and Barking Riverside who realised that there is not much out there for the youth locally. We are aware of the challenging society the youth are growing up in currently and wanted to make a positive impact to help the youth navigate through the challenges they may face and also develop as great ambassadors in society.
