“There was an atmosphere of warmth and encouragement. The quality of relationships with young people came across very strongly.”

 Beth Williams, London Youth Quality assurance Officer

Our Vision

A world in which all young people have equal opportunities, regardless of their ethnicity, abilities, socio-economic circumstances or individual needs.

It’s a turbulent world for adolescents.

The transition from childhood to adulthood, education to employment and dependency to independent living is daunting and fraught with challenges for most.

These difficulties increase two-fold for young people experiencing socio-economic and racial inequalities.

– The Independent

Little Opportunities

1/3

Limited Resources

20%

Low Income

58%
of families (below retirement age) receive means-tested benefits.

Teen Action is a refuge for these young people, providing holistic support to directly challenge the poverty and inequalities experienced by users.

Our Mission

To give marginalised young women from minority communities access to bespoke programs and support, helping them to reach their potential; and to ease the transition to adulthood, employment and independent living.

"First-hand reports from the young people tell me that they benefit from a wide range of projects and training programmes and gain skills that equip them for employment and for life.”

Toby Direnfeld, Beis Malka Secondary School teacher
