Our story
About Springboard
For over fifteen years we've stood beside young people in our community — and we're just getting started.
For over fifteen years we've stood beside young people in our community — and we're just getting started.
Springboard began in 2009 in a single church hall with one football and a handful of teenagers who needed somewhere to go.
Today we run six programmes across seven London boroughs, but our belief hasn't changed: every young person has potential, and every young person deserves someone who believes in it. We meet young people where they are — and walk with them towards where they want to be.
Support our mission
Est. 2009We start with the young person — their goals, their pace, their voice. Nothing about them without them.
Relationships, not transactions. We show up for the long haul, not the quick win.
Every young person belongs here, exactly as they are. We celebrate the whole community.
A small staff team and a big family of volunteers, many of whom grew up with Springboard themselves.
Give, mentor or fundraise — help us reach the next young person who needs someone in their corner.
