Years of Service

"There I was—a young adult, drunk, and after four years of complete rejection, trying to belong. I felt discarded. I sat down to rest, and like a refreshing gust of wind, a Teen Enterprise mentor approached and sat next to me. We spoke for an hour. Since then, I have never looked back."

The Crisis on Our Doorstep

It feels impossible to ignore the skyrocketing local crime and suicide rates. A staggering 55% of young people in the UK face barriers in seeking mental health support, and over 270,300 children are currently waiting for help.

Immediate Need

Right now, 40 broken teens have desperately reached out to us for help. Turning them away is not an option, but we cannot assist them without immediate additional funding.
