Our projects focus on supporting disadvantaged people by working with local schools, community centres and housing estates in the heart of London’s bustling East End. Through our participation in EU funded projects, we’ve worked in many countries, including Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuanian, Norway and Spain.
