Young people need to make life-changing decisions as they move into adulthood, but unfortunately many don’t have supportive people around.

We know that some young people face bullying and violence due to their race, gender or sexuality; and with the increase in drugs and gang influences, our help is even more vital to these communities.

Through our experience we’ve met many bright individuals in Tower Hamlets who are keen to go on to higher education, develop careers and improve their quality of life — but what seems apparent from a simple conversation is their lack of self-belief and their desire for an opportunity to flourish. They want leadership roles at work and within their community – this is what Be.Leaders is all about.

As a participant on the Be.Leaders programme you’ll have the opportunity to make new friends, expand your professional network, and take part in residential trips.

Every aspect of the programme aims to empower young people to take charge of their future and achieve their full potential.
