About our cause
In 2023, 5,010 unaccompanied children arrived in the UK seeking safety. Coping with the aftermath of war, persecution, and bereavement, many have experienced traumatic events that make it hard to cope with day-to-day life. Young people living in hotels are given approximately £8.86 a week to live on, often suffering from social exclusion and finding it difficult to access the support they need to move forwards with their lives. Asylum seekers are not allowed to work, and do not have access to student finance.
Established in 2008, Hope for the Young delivers a small number of high-quality programmes that have a direct, tangible, and long-lasting impact on the lives of young refugees and asylum-seekers, offering them a holistic route to achieve their full potential.
We deliver two key programmes:
i) The Mentoring Programme trains Volunteer Mentors to provide tailored one-to-one support and advice, including language and development, enrolment advice, study skills and emotional support. Young people referred to us receive 2-3 hours of mentoring a week for at least 6 months, in cafes and libraries across London. Due to the complex social, psychological, and practical challenges many young people face when trying to settle into their new communities, our holistic and youth-focused mentoring approach enables young people to develop the independence skills, support networks, and confidence they need to achieve their full potential.
ii) The Grants & Advocacy Programme provides vital financial support to access education and gain the qualifications that the young person needs to move forward in their lives, offered alongside a personalised package of guidance, support and sign-posting to help young people stay on-track and achieve their goals. We aim to support young refugee and asylum seekers to complete their education by providing grants of up to £4,500 to those who have no access to government funds, or to those who are facing extreme financial hardship.
We need your help so we can continue to offer and even expand our service!
Thank you for your support and good luck!
Matt Blacker,
CEO
