We are an award winning charity committed to seeing no young person lose their life or potential to youth violence

For over 15 years BIGKID has gone in to areas where young people are struggling with the pressures of gangs, crime and deprivation. We engage with them on a personal level and assist them in making a positive step change in their life. This could mean stepping away from gangs, returning to education or simply regularly attending our programme. Our activities include weekly youth clubs, football training sessions, community and student leadership programme, multi-sport programme and a mentoring programme. For the last 10 years we have been running these programmes helping young people in Lambeth and beyond to develop leadership skills and become key stakeholders in their communities.

We would not be able to impact the lives of countless young people without the support, dedication and passion given by our amazing team.
