WELCOME TO OUR MENTIVITY JUSTGIVING FUNDRAISER PAGE!

Our young people and the wider community desperately need a safe, community led space to be in. Somewhere they can be mentored, seen, heard, educated, empowered and allowed to express themselves through their passions.

We have seen numerous community centres, youth clubs and spaces for our community closed down over the last ten years in Southwark leaving thousands of young people and adults with nowhere to go, nowhere to socialise, nowhere to come together and nowhere to truly call their own.

We are going to change that with the Mentivity Community Hub... But we need your support.

Check out our video below to hear from some of our mentees that we have worked with over the years...

Mentivity was founded in January 2016, to mentor and support young people from all backgrounds, as well as their families and since then, we have been searching for a home to be able to provide an extensive, holistic service to our community, intensive mentoring support and youth club activities for the young people that we serve.

WE FINALLY HAVE OUR OWN HOME!

We are so excited to have secured our new building which will help us to reach and impact many more young people, their families and the local community. However, we really need your support to help us run the facility and deliver our mentoring and holistic support work to young people and their families.

WHAT WE PLAN TO DO...

COVID-19 has impacted us all in ways we could never have imagined. Despite this, we have been working hard to make sure we can provide support by focusing our offer in the following areas:

A Brand New Community Centre
