Headquarters of the Oxford Kilburn Youth Trust and is based within the area
in and around South Kilburn, London, close to Queens Park Station. We aim to encourage children and young people to ·
discover opportunities to
unlock their potential ·
contribute positively to the
wider community ·
develop meaning and
structure for their lives. We aim to enhance the personal, social and spiritual development of children and young people, and offer advice and support to parents & families to this end. The
OK Club was founded 50 years ago by students from Oxford University. It
runs within a Christian framework, but it is NOT expected that those
attending will themselves be Christian. Our Christian motivation is expressed
by the phrase ‘living life to the full’. You can view our Statement of Faith here The
Oxford Kilburn Youth Trust is an independent charity. It includes one to one
mentoring, Club-based, school-based and outreach work, partnership work with
local authorities and local and national voluntary agencies, and
accommodation for volunteers from around the world. We run a
busy daily timetable of activities, clubs, and specialist skills sessions
across a wide range of interests. We
work with young people, at their own pace, to help them stay as healthy and
safe as possible, develop positive relationships and attitudes, and gain in
awareness and abilities and achievements, now and in the future. We offer
information, support & advice on education, employment and training as
part of the Connexions Service. We are funded mainly through private
donations and independent trusts, and also by local authority grants, and
through South Kilburn New Deal for Communities. WE ARE
FULLY WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE. SPACES
