Our Story
Our Mission
We believe health, fitness and sports are the gateways to a fulfilled life. Achieving in these areas leads to self empowerment and personal development. Our mission is to have a lasting positive impact within the lives of the young people we come in to contact with.
Fit For Life Youth was founded with a simple aim - to create a safe positive space where young people can grow, feel supported and reach their potential.
The Beginning
We began in 2019 as a Community Interest Company (CIC), working within our local community in Kensington & Chelsea. What started off as small scale sessions in the park conducted by Chris (CEO) quick grew as more young people began to engage within our programmes and benefit from the support provided
The Need
We recognised a growing need for safe, structured spaces where young people could build confidence, improve their wellbeing and access positive opportunities. Many young people faced barriers to accessing sport, support and guidance and we wanted to change that.
Over time, our work expanded to include regular sports and fitness sessions, youth clubs, positive role models, wellbeing support, half term and school activities. We have since supported thousands of young people creating a strong and trusted presence within the community.
In September 2024, we bacame a registered charity (CIO), making an important step in our development and strengthening our ability to grow, partner and deliver long term impact.
Today?
Today, Fit For Life Youth continues to provide inclusive, accessible programmes that support young people to build confidence, improve their wellbeing and feel part of a community
As we continue to grow, our focus remains the same, to create opportunities for young people to thrive and reach their full potential.
