Final Impact Report – Celebrating 10
Years of Youth Empowerment (2015–
2025)
As we close our tenth and final year of
operation, we reflect with pride on the
lasting impact we’ve made in the lives of
young people. Since launching in 2015, our
charity has championed inclusive, creative,
and skills-focused programmes that have
reached thousands.

Highlights from Our Final Year This year, we delivered dynamic debating sessions in schools , helping young people grow in confidence, develop persuasive communication skills, and express themselves on important issues. We are proud to have reached over 1,000 children through our school-based debating work. Thanks to support from the Brent Youth Foundation , we strengthened our delivery and expanded access to our projects. We also published Debating Definitions , a comprehensive and accessible book capturing the essence of our debating programme. Now available on Amazon, the book is being widely disseminated to the young people we’ve worked with , offering a lasting educational resource with all the topics we've covered through the years. Through our involvement in London Youth’s Heritage Programme , young people interviewed each other about their cultural backgrounds and the influences on their lives—celebrating identity, community, and shared stories. We proudly nominated a participant for a Jack Petchey Achievement Award , recognising dedication and growth. We completed an academic year of provision at Unitas Youth Zone in Barnet , providing consistent support, activities, and mentoring in a safe and inclusive setting. Partnerships That Made It Possible This work would not have been possible without the dedicated collaboration of our partners, including local schools, London Youth , Brent Youth Foundation , Unitas Youth Zone , and community networks in Brent and Harrow . Their support enabled us to amplify our efforts and ensure consistency and quality in every programme. We need to name the John Lyon’s Charity, Harrow Voluntary

Service and the Harrow Youth
Foundation as well as the Big Lottery.
