the avenues youth project
London
Our mission is to give hope and opportunities to children and young people in
West London, so they fulfil their potential and leave prepared and excited for
adult life. The Avenues team of youth professionals provides a safe, caring,
youth-led space in a disadvantaged inner-city area, where young people can
learn, develop and build towards a brighter future. Open-access after-school and
holiday programmes take place in our purpose-built youth centre in North
Westminster. Activities encompass sport, healthy cooking, music, art, dance,
radio, skills development and career pathways. Delivered by our experienced
team, the work is child-centred and promotes enjoyment, collaboration and
individually tailored support towards personal development. Young people are
encouraged to become volunteers, participate in social action, and to use their
voices to share their ideas, opinions and needs, which in turn helps us shape
the youth programmes. We are committed to the highest quality of youth work and
in 2021 we were awarded the Gold Level London Youth Quality Mark. This is the
badge of excellence for our sector, a quality assurance programme co-delivered
with UK Youth and recognised by City and Guilds, local authorities and funders.
The Avenues is one of London's leading youth centres. The Avenues team of youth
professionals welcomes young people from every community in West London to a
fun, creative space where you can discover new passions, skills and friends. Our
purpose-built centre on Third Avenue, W10 has a sports hall, dance studio, music
recording studio, radio room, training kitchen and art studio. Membership is
free for 8 to 18-year-olds and all our activities are free-to-use. Come and see
for yourself, and unlock your real potential.
