Assistance is given to help young people through the difficult transition from childhood to adulthood, a turbulent time for many, made more so when experiencing high levels of poverty, poor health and unemployment. It offers a fun programme of activities in a safe, supportive and inclusive environment for its members and is a trusted and much valued community resource. The Clubs currently have a membership of over 1800 young people, mainly between the ages of 8 to 25 that attracts an average of 35 attendees at any one session. The Harrow Clubs have has been awarded the London Youth Quality Mark, Gold Level which “demonstrates the organisation is a centre of excellence providing the best possible service for young people”. At the core of the work of the Harrow Club, a dynamic social education programme is in place which is tailor made to the needs of the young people it serves. Activities include an ABA accredited boxing club, football clubs, arts and crafts, music production and residential programmes (for many this is the only opportunity members get to leave central London), with a large emphasis placed on fun. Clubs are in place for both junior and senior members, and there is a weekly girls only session (which means girls from the large East African Muslim community locally can attend). In addition to generic youth work programming, targeted work is carried out regarding employment help and advice, and workshops regularly take place that are relevant to the needs and concerns of members – cyber bullying, and pressures relating to sex, gang membership and drugs and alcohol.
