The Vavengers is a survivor, female and migrant led organisation working to end Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting and all other forms of Violence Against Women and Girls.

Our work takes 3 forms:

1: Community outreach hubs in the UK that support vulnerable women and girls’ physical, psychological, and legal needs with a focus on FGM/C and VAWG

2: Educational workshops about FGM/C and VAWG with businesses and organisations, including healthcare professionals

3: National and international campaigns to ensure FGM/C and VAWG is on the political and social agenda

We are The Vavengers. We listen, we support and we take action. We educate, collaborate, aid and empower. We are a survivor-led organisation, standing with and for every woman affected by Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) and other forms of Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) – we will help end it together.

Team Up is an educational charity that tutors disadvantaged children in maths and English, helping them to double their academic progress, gain confidence, and improve their future prospects. Team Up was founded on the core principle of finding inspirational volunteer role models who we train to help increase the attainment and aspirations of school children in order to change young lives for the better.

We operate across multiple Greater London boroughs in numerous schools providing tutoring in maths and English. In addition to the work we do with children from low-socio economic backgrounds, we also offer continuous support to our wide range of volunteers. We do this by providing them with a range of opportunities to gain leadership and employability skills in an effort to repay their tireless efforts and give back to the local community.

Team Up works to reduce the widening attainment gap in education by helping underachieving disadvantaged pupils double their expected progress and improve their future prospects. We do this through inspirational volunteer tutors, with the support of qualified teachers and facilitators.

Drive Forward helps young adults between the ages of 16-26 leaving foster or residential care to find suitable employment in their chosen career through individually tailored programmes. Their mission is to enable care-experienced young people to achieve their full potential through sustainable and fulfilling employment. Drive Forward Foundation aims to develop a sustainable model of best practice which is replicated across the UK. Ultimately, their vision is a society where care-experienced people enjoy opportunity, empathy and respect.
