Future Skills Training - Skills for Life, Personal Development and Mentoring for young people in South London

Future Skills Training is a charity based in Battersea, South London, that seeks to empower, support, care for and give hope to vulnerable, at risk and disadvantaged young people.

We target those aged 11-19 who are excluded or at risk of exclusion from mainstream education, those that have offended or are at risk of offending, those not in education, employment or training, and those socially marginalised.

Through a range of effective and targeted programmes, we work with small groups of young people or on a one-to-one basis to provide training and education that develops their skills, capacities and capabilities and enables them to find their role and participate in their local community and society.

We also aim to build lasting relationships with the young people that will provide support, encouragement and assist in raising their aspirations as they develop into adults.

"Phil, Sarah and the rest of the Future Skills Training group, what can I say except thank you for everything you have done for me. Believing in me and pushing me to do something worthwhile and make something of myself. Thank you all"
