Ansar Youth Project (AYP) is an exciting and innovative youth organisation which specialises in targeting young people from a diverse range of disadvantaged and marginalised communities in Brent and neighbouring boroughs. We are a pioneering organisation providing faith and culturally sensitive youth-work in our local communities. Our mission is to engage as many young people between the age of 11 and 17 in our specialised Youth Programme’s. We are completely young person led and removes all participation barriers. If we had to stop our services due to lack of support, over 1000 young people would no longer have access to youth services due to participation barriers. Over the past few years, AYP has been able to engage with over 2500 young people in North West London and are seeking to continue growing into wider parts of London. Ansar Youth Project for the last 10 years has successfully run the following projects engaging over 1,000 young people per annum. • Daily youth clubs with developmental workshops • Monthly Employment programmes • Run accredited workshops for young people • Enterprise Programmes • Peer Mentoring Programmes • Provide over 500 volunteer opportunities for young people a year • Provide teamwork and leadership opportunities for over 150 young people per year • Multi-sports sessions • IT/gaming club • Homework club/tutoring sessions • Day and Residential trips • Employment programmes The programme is run by a team of the young people from the management committee, the youth programme manage and youth workers/mentors. They have been successfully running the daily youth programmes from the centre engaging over 50-100 young people per week with over 1,000 young people engaged per annum. Many of the young people who currently attend our programmes come from disadvantaged backgrounds and need support overcoming issues they face.

Wembley Primary School is one of the largest primary schools in Brent, tucked within the heart of London and just a short walk from the iconic Wembley Stadium. An essential ingredient crucial to our success is teamwork. We view education as a joint venture which involves everyone within our community. From the children, parents and carers to the staff, Governors and wider community, it is this mutual source of collective strength that gives us the confidence to be able to provide the best possible education and experience for every child. We are introducing new sports and PE facilities so our children can learn the value of teamwork while staying healthy and active. Our school has a high percentage of pupils who have been classified as obese and we are keen to offer our students more opportunity to develop a lifelong love of sports. For example, we will be introducing the ‘Premier League Primary Stars’ which will help children with different aspects of their learning such as being ambitious, providing inspiration, diplomacy and making connections. As part of an exciting programme called Mini Pitch, we are fundraising for an all-weather pitch to increase inclusion and promote health and well-being among our children and the wider community. You can help us by following our project page, donating to our fundraising pot and sharing our page across social media to get more people excited and involved.
