Breaking the Cycle

Coming from disadvantaged backgrounds such as poor housing/schooling, violence or lack of professional networks/guidance creates a mental barrier stopping individuals from fulfilling their potential.  Many young people end up involved in crime, anti-social behavior and drug/alcohol abuse. This has a detrimental affect on society as young people are not positively contributing to the economy.  We aim to break this cycle by raising the aspirations and increasing the confidence of young people aged 16-19 living within Tower hamlets.  We want to supply a supportive network so that young people feel they are gaining the support they need to further themselves.
