• Youth Engagement Solutions Ltd (YES) is a charity which aims to turn disadvantaged children and young people away from antisocial behaviour, unemployment and social exclusion whilst helping them to play an active role in their communities.
• Our Charity works with a troubled demographic ranging up to the age of 30, from across London but the majority of its customers come from Brent and the surrounding boroughs.
• The YES team was established in 2008 to provide youth services through another charity based in Cricklewood-London. In 2015, as a result of drastic cuts in funding, this charity withdrew these services and YES was incorporated to maintain this essential work.
• In response to our customers’ needs the YES team, partners and funders created YES the Charity in order to continue this successful youth service.
• Since 2008, YES (formerly as part of another charity, and then as a standalone organisation) has worked with over 3,250 young people.
