Based in the “Hut” (just off Ladbroke Grove), YAA works across North Kensington, delivering street-based, targeted group work and projects for young people.

Our aim is to combat social exclusion by developing the knowledge, self-esteem, and confidence of young people and their communities in order for them to move from dependence to interdependence.

Over the past year, our activities have included outreach and detached street work sessions on estates, and in youth hotspots around North Kensington and targeted project work including:

• a Grenfell Girl’s group that meets weekly at the Curve
• Travellers girls and boys group work at KAA
• twice-weekly football coaching at the Westway
• the provision of a safe space drop-in.

We work in partnership with other local providers to provide a young mum’s group, drug cessation project, and a disability project.
