Teen Action is born. 

Mrs Faigy Taub, a mother of 8, fails to find culturally appropriate and affordable support for her eldest school leaver who is at risk of becoming NEET (not in employment, education or training).  She approaches Mrs Yocheved Austerlitz, head teacher at a local girls’ further education college, who echoes her sentiments and together they set out on a journey to reform young people services in disadvantaged minority communities.

Teen Action becomes a registered charity.

Teen Action reaches 100 beneficiaries over the last 5 years.
