Get involved and inspire young lives today!

We are a local, independent charity dedicated to supporting young people aged 5-25 across Bath & North East Somerset. With the help of our community, we run inspiring mentoring programmes and inclusive youth clubs that empower young people to feel happier, more confident, and hopeful about their future.

The past few years have been challenging for both our charity and the young people we support. But with your help, we can continue to make a difference. Now, more than ever, young people need your support.
