Prospex

Prospex is a grassroots, Islington-based youth charity, supporting all young people aged 8-19 many of which have had life chances affected through measures outside their control; poverty, social deprivation, high unemployment and crime.

We believe in putting young people first so apply a holistic approach to our youth work. Through our 3 work-streams we use engaging recreational activities, projects and training to aid in our children’s and young people’s social, personal and educational skills development.

This helps them to recognise their individual abilities, whilst getting to the root cause of any issues potentially hindering their success in life.
