Sainsbury's Westminster Rochester Row Local

The Club is a registered charity, established 150 years ago, and provides a sense of belonging, fun and informal education to around 700 members each year, where they develop self-confidence, respect for others and build their abilities to contribute to society as good citizens. The Club is in action seven days a week. We have Senior Club programmes Monday – Thursday evenings and Junior Club on Monday and Wednesday evenings; we have Karate Club on Friday and we field football teams on Sundays. In addition, we run programmes during school holidays through the day and into the evenings. In 2016-17 the Club enjoyed 17,806 individual attendances over the year. It has no religious affiliations and is open to all, with members paying only a very modest subscription. The Club is a vital resource for the local community, providing value for money opportunities in a safe, attractive environment for young people to develop educationally, socially and personally through an exciting and remarkably wide range of sport, art, excursions and practical skills. Many of the members live locally in Westminster and come from homes on very tight budgets. We offer a youth development programme to those members keen to take on responsibility and challenges. Many members volunteer and then become youth workers themselves to give back to the Club. Prevention is certainly better than cure and topical issues which affect members’ lives are addressed through workshops, such as gangs and radicalisation, drug prevention, money management, healthy eating, body image and social media bullying.

At Pimlico Angels, our commitment lies in offering comprehensive support services to vulnerable and disadvantaged individuals within our community. Our mission is centered on empowering and supporting those in need through impactful outreach initiatives. This includes the provision of nourishing hot and cold meals, essential care packages, and a community befriending program aimed at fostering meaningful connections and support networks.

We were founded in 2015 as Sapphire Ministries and as of November 2017, we rebranded to the Sapphire Community Group to represent inclusivity and community. In 2022 we have now rebranded to The Sapphire Employability and Wellbeing Academy (TSEAWA) as we have moved on solely to supporting BAME young people aged 5- 35 with employability, housing, wellbeing and food support. TSEAWA was established to help young people access work and accredited training. Aiming to increase young people's independence, abilities and freedom to thrive, all while reducing unemployment, mental health issues, crime rates and homelessness.

We have over 4 years of experience and till date we have worked with over 8000 young people and single parents till date, especially those from minority and disadvantaged backgrounds. Sapphire aims to equip young people to not only be the their best version of themselves but to also inspire them to have a genuine insight of what they will like to pursue in the near future. More importantly, the community group is put in place to make a major contribution to those whose voice has been silenced and ensuring that they understand and fulfil their purpose. We are an organisation that seeks to empower and stabilise a segregated community. The sole purpose of Sapphire is to build people up. Moreover, to ensure that each individual finds what they are meant to do in life. Through mentoring, coaching, literature, entertainment, events and workshops; we aim to provide a platform and pathway for young people all over the world find their callings. Additionally, we will attempt to help each individual believe that they can create a change for the extraordinary. We aim to teach and inspire individuals to believe in themselves and see their full potential. We have multiple young people roaming the streets, because they believe that the world has given up on them or they believe that they do not have what it takes to create the impossible. So Sapphire is stepping in to give a voice to the voiceless. The Sapphire Employability and Wellbeing Academy (TSEAWA) is here to tell our young, that they are good enough! And that there is nothing they cannot achieve if they are willing to go the extra mile to achieve the unattainable today.
