WORKING TOGETHER
FOR YOUNG LONDONERS
SINCE 2025

At Youth Active, we’re more than just a youth club we’re a community dedicated to empowering young people across Newham to unlock their potential, build confidence, and make positive life choices.

Our Story

Youth Active was born out of a pressing need for dedicated youth provision in Newham. We believe that outside of formal education, young people need a "third space" somewhere they can be themselves, take risks, and find trusted adult mentors.

From our humble beginnings with a single sports session, we have grown into a multi-disciplinary hub offering everything from digital literacy to mental health support.

Our mission is to provide a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment where every young person feels supported, inspired, and connected. Whether it’s through sports, creative arts, or personal development workshops, our aim is to help children and teens thrive both inside and outside of school.

We understand the challenges today’s young people face — from social isolation and digital overload to peer pressure, youth violence, and substance misuse. That’s why our Evening Youth Programme and after-school sessions are designed to create a positive alternative.

Our sessions provide a safe space where young people can build friendships, develop new skills, and take part in structured, fun activities that promote wellbeing and confidence.
