BLESST Community Hub
Our vision is creating a stable safe space, nurturing trustful relationships and family environments for young people and families to become engaged and empowered, with a greater sense of belong, and sense of purpose that leads to a more meaningful live, less affected by the impacts of poverty, neglect, abuse and unemployment and are able to influence change and live in a community where they are the community. That whatever their background, beliefs, ethnicity, intersexuality has significant worth and deserves a welcome that makes them feel valued and sense of belong.

BLESST YLAB
"Young people should be at the forefront of global and community change and innovation.
Empowered, they can be key agents for development and peace. If, however, they are left
on society's margins, all of us will be impoverished. Let us ensure that all young people have
every opportunity to participate fully in the lives of their societies.
Youth Leader Advisory Board
Our Blesst YLAB, most of the young people from the local community and surrounding areas of Birmingham. However, one or two on the board are non-geographical communities brought together by other factors. Youth Leaders Advisory Board focuses on issues of health, race, inequalities, community engagement & development, co-designing activities for young people while being trained to become youth lead community organisers to make a positive difference within their communities.
