ABOUT US

Who we are

Established in 2013, Billy Youth Engagement Project is a dynamic, community-driven, not-for-profit organisation and registered charity
dedicated to empowering young people across London. We work with young people from across the city, while our main office is based in the
London Borough of Haringey. Through education, sports, digital skills, outreach, and mentorship, we help young people build brighter, healthier,
and more ambitious futures.

Our Vision

To be a catalyst for lasting change nurturing a generation of confident, skilled, and empowered young people who make meaningful
contributions to their communities and wider society.

Our Mission

We are committed to transforming the lives of young people by offering comprehensive support, guidance, and mentoring. Our mission is to
broaden their horizons, inspire their ambitions, and equip them with the skills and confidence to reach their full potential as leaders and
changemakers.

Our Aim

To promote sustainable development and unity by strengthening relationships between young people and their communities. We strive to create inclusive, supportive environments where all young people regardless of background or circumstance have equal opportunities to thrive.

Our Commitment to Health and Well-Being

We recognise that good health underpins personal and social development. Our programmes focus on physical fitness, mental well-being, and
nutrition giving young people practical knowledge and lifelong tools for healthier living.
Through sports sessions, fitness activities, mental-health workshops, and healthy-eating initiatives, we help young people build confidence,
resilience, and strong foundations for their future growth.

Our Strategic Priorities

  1. Empowering Through Education
    We deliver tailored educational programmes for young people up to age 24, helping them build essential skills, gain independence, and grow into
    confident, capable members of society. This includes educational visits, career exposure opportunities, and hands-on learning experiences.
  2. Digital Skills Development
    Our Coding Club equips young people with valuable digital and technical skills preparing them for future opportunities in technology and
    boosting their confidence in a rapidly evolving digital world.
  3. Creative Expression
    Through access to our Podcast Studio, young people can explore media, communication, and storytelling developing their voice, creativity, and
    confidence.
  4. Sports and Active Lifestyle
    We offer sports clubs, fitness programmes, and large community sports events, ensuring young people of all abilities can participate,
    connect, and feel included. Sports are a powerful tool for developing teamwork, discipline, confidence, and community cohesion.
  5. Enhancing Quality of Life
    Our recreational and social-welfare activities enrich the lives of young people who face barriers related to disability, economic hardship, or
    social disadvantage.
  6. Outreach and Community Engagement
    Our dedicated outreach team engages directly with young people in schools, estates, youth hubs, and community spaces ensuring support reaches
    those who may otherwise be overlooked and promoting greater social inclusion across London.
  7. Combating Isolation
    We actively reduce isolation among young people, children, and individuals with disabilities by creating welcoming spaces and opportunities
    that foster connection, belonging, and friendship.
  8. Advancing Access to Services
    We work to ensure young people understand and can access essential services, support networks, and growth opportunities available to them
    across London.
  9. Supporting Marginalized Communities
    We deliver targeted programmes that support London’s diverse communities, with a strong focus on ethnic minority groups and young people experiencing social or economic disadvantage.
  10. Promoting Unity and Sustainability
    Our initiatives strengthen relationships between young people and their communities, encouraging collaboration, shared growth, and long-term
    sustainable development.
  11. Advocating for Change
    We work closely with policymakers and service providers to champion the needs and voices of young people, ensuring that strategies and
    decisions genuinely reflect their priorities and lived experiences.

Operational Scope

Our programmes support young people in every corner of London. Through sports, digital learning, creative opportunities, outreach, education,
and mentorship, we empower young people to overcome challenges, unlock their potential, and thrive in a fast-changing world.

Together, we are building a city where every young person regardless of their background has the chance to participate, succeed, and make a
meaningful impact.
