Safe Minds, Strong Futures
Growing up can be challenging for any young person. For children from refugee and migrant backgrounds, those challenges are often compounded by uncertainty, isolation, language barriers, and the pressures of adapting to a new environment. Many young people tell us they struggle with anxiety, low confidence, and a feeling that they do not fully belong.
Safe Minds, Strong Futures was created in response to those experiences.
This two-year project provides a welcoming space where young people aged 12–17 can build confidence, strengthen emotional well-being, and develop supportive relationships with trusted adults and peers. Rather than waiting until problems reach crisis point, the project focuses on early support, helping young people manage stress, build resilience, and feel more connected to their communities.
Through a programme of wellbeing workshops and one-to-one support sessions, participants explore topics such as self-confidence, emotional wellbeing, healthy relationships, communication, belonging, and coping with everyday challenges. Activities are designed to be engaging, practical, and youth-led, encouraging young people to share experiences, learn from one another, and develop skills that support positive mental health.
The project was shaped by feedback from our Youth Committee and conversations with young people across London. Many told us they wanted safe spaces where they could talk openly, feel understood, and access support without judgment. Safe Minds, Strong Futures aims to provide exactly that.
Over the course of the project, we expect to support 55 young people, helping them build stronger connections, greater confidence, and a more positive sense of their future.
