Build Up Foundation
Helping young people gain practical skills, confidence and routes into employment
Build Up Foundation works across deprived London neighbourhoods, delivering youth-led construction projects which help young people gain practical skills, confidence and routes into employment meanwhile transforming neglected spaces.
The Axis Foundation has awarded £7,400 to Build Up to contribute to essential construction materials needed to deliver a build project in Hackney, enabling young people to design and construct a high-quality community space alongside professional trades and construction mentors.
The donation will directly support around 30 marginalised young people, with over 1,000 local young people benefiting each year from a permanent, inclusive community space.
“This is amazing news and we are incredibly grateful to the Axis Foundation for this support. The team is thrilled that the Hackney Marshes project can go ahead, particularly because the young people involved are so committed and inspiring. This flexible funding shows real belief in our work and in the potential of young people to lead positive change in their communities. It will make a lasting difference to both the participants and the space they are helping to create” – Huan Rimington, Founder and Director
