Formerly known as Gloves Not Gunz and Urban Yogis UK, our mission is to create access to our diverse range of programmes, giving young people the drive and agency to make positive life choices while working with the community to tackle serious youth crime.
At Be Inspired, we're on a mission to empower young people from diverse backgrounds to make more positive life choices. We break down barriers and build up opportunities through our wrap-around programmes, working to combat challenges faced by young people in society today.
Our therapy programmes are designed to help young people and their families navigate through trauma, mental health conditions, difficult emotions, and other issues, including substance abuse.
We strongly believe in education's role in a young person's life. We work to support young people by providing 1:1 support and delivering our educational programmes to local authorities.
Inspiration isn't just a word for us - it's what we're all about. Our employment programmes empower young people to take ownership of their futures and critical skills through training and placements with organisations across London.
Our community enrichment programmes use sports and education to improve personal development, life skills, and social issues. We offer free weekly sports sessions that include boxing, yoga, and jiu-jitsu. To register, click here
Our highly experienced and skilled team offers 1:1 mentoring for young people referred through social care, education, youth offending, or the community.
