We are raising money for Elays Network to help continue their support in empowering young people achieve, grow and inspire.

From the 24th-28th February, we will be taking part in the 'Living below the Line' challenge living on just £1 a day to support Elays to continue their great work!

The name Elays is of Somali origin and translates to mean light- which can also be referred to as a light house.  The purpose of a light house is to guide and carefully direct sailors on rough waters to land and safety. Similarly, whilst Elays is in existence we aim to guide and direct the youth during the most crucial and difficult years of their development, whilst living in what is similar to rough waters- the streets of London.  Like a lighthouse, Elays acts as that steadfast constant presence which offers comfort, security and opportunity. Though we are immensely proud of what we have achieved thus far, we won’t be satisfied until we have reached out to every young person in need of support and guidance and as an organization are able to effortlessly open the door and present an alternative to every young person who comes our way.
