At Unitas, children and young adults unlock their potential, helping them to thrive as happy, confident, and successful adults. We provide a safe, caring and encouraging space where young people, often from disadvantaged backgrounds, can connect with new friends and feel a real sense of belonging.
During every visit, young people receive tailored support and mentoring from incredible youth workers, enjoy a hot, nutritious meal and access dozens of fun, enriching activities. Through all of this and more, Unitas helps young people build their sense of self-worth, resilience and ambition.
As the largest provider of youth services in North London, your support helps us provide young people…

“Unitas has given me confidence to try to intract with people, to try bulding relationships”
Walid, Unitas member, Young Leader Programme, 18
“We can’t thank Unitas enough for the difference it has made to both Joes and our lives. Being a Unitas parent has even given me the opportunity to make friends, where we can chat, share ideas and strategies without judgement.”
Debbie, Limitless Parent
“What I love about Unitas is that I can play with my friends and learn new things, like playing the piano, tennis, and even girls-only football. I enjoy all of this because it feels like a safe space. Since coming to Unitas, I’ve learned so much that I wouldn’t have learned at school.”
Delia, Junior member, 9
“Unitas feels like a community – MY community. I go as much as I can. Its a place I can chill out, train hard and seek advice if I need it. Unitas has given me the FIRE to be great!”
Colena, former member, current Youth Worker.
“After attending Unitas for a couple of years, I have learned to be more confident. This place makes me very happy because I have built lots of different relationships with people, which makes me feel connected.”
Sam, Limitless Member, 16
“Unitas is amazing. It’s for the young people and it’s always there. It’s helped me. It’s given me friends, skills and confidence. You could say it cracked my shell – released me out into the world.”
Milan, Senior member, 18
“Unitas gave me space to heal – and the push to grow. Yasmine especially… she’s more than a youth worker. She reminded me how brave I was, even when I didn’t feel it. She saw strength, capability, and potential in me when all I saw was fear and brokenness. She believed in me long before I believed in myself, she was one of the people who saved me. From the very first day I walked in, I knew I had found my commmunity”
Tamara, Senior member, 17
