Built for young people,
measured for impact.
Two core services — one rooted in real, paid work; one delivered week by week inside schools — plus the cultural projects we build alongside young people.
Second Corner
Second Corner is our youth work pathway — safe, paid, age-appropriate first jobs for 13–16 year olds, with vetted employers, supervised placements and a real first taste of the working world close to school or home.
The idea didn't start in an office. It started by listening — through interviews with around 20 young people at Marcus Lipton Youth Club and at Miguel's Boxing Gym in Loughborough Junction. What we heard was simple: they wanted a way to earn pocket money and gain real work experience — and none of it was available to them below the age of 16.
- Vetted employers
- Stipend-based first jobs
- Supervised & safeguarded
- Co-designed with young people

One programme.
Three components.
Delivered inside schools over 10 weeks, our flagship programme blends sport, creative skills and financial education into a single arc — designed with teachers and tested with the young people themselves.
Non-contact boxing
Structured, non-contact boxing sessions that build focus, resilience, discipline and trust — and for some students, a new way into learning that translates straight back into the classroom.
Choose your strand
Each cohort runs one themed creative lab alongside the sport sessions — co-chosen with the school to match the pupils and context.
- Digital lab
Video shooting and editing, photography, and repairing computers — practical digital skills that open doors.
- Arts, crafts & entrepreneurship
Hands-on making paired with the basics of turning a creative idea into an enterprise concept.
- Food culture
Cooking dishes from around the world — learning about heritage, identity and community through food.
Money, in real life
Practical money skills — earning, saving, budgeting, understanding pay and tax — connected directly to the first paid work young people can step into through Second Corner.

With teachers and pupils
An Augmented Reality exhibition, built by Year 3.
At Merton Abbey Primary School, we worked with Year 3 students to build an AR exhibition about the High Path area in Wimbledon — from concept to public showcase, in a single project.
There's nothing stopping young people from working with advanced technology. What matters is how you introduce it.
Shaped the big idea behind the exhibition.
Designed the exhibition logo and identity.
Wrote the exhibition brief and interview questions.
Filmed interviews with local residents and edited video.
Helped build the AR app itself, then welcomed guests on a private tour across five locations around the school where the content came to life.
Workshop testimonials from the pupils.
The exhibition on opening day.
After a full day of building, the students led their guests through the exhibition themselves — a moment of pride, confidence and creativity shaped entirely by the young people.
