The organisation mainly, but not exclusively, supports ethnic and black minority children to help improve their educational attainment. We work with the Islington Regeneration Department and several schools in the borough, running Supplementary Schools and Homework Clubs. In addition, we provide ESOL, ICT, learning resources, and volunteering opportunities to young people and parents.
