Help us to continue bringing positive change to young people’s lives.

Shadwell Basin Outdoor Activity Centre provides adventurous activities to the communities of Tower Hamlets.
We use outdoor activities as a tool for development, supporting young people to grow in confidence, determination and leadership. We run a Youth Club that operates three times a week and during the school holidays. We also run residential trips and expeditions around the UK as well as international expeditions. We provide pathways to life skills and employment through our Leadership Programme and Adventure Coach Training Scheme.
Due to Covid-19 the Centre has had to close, which has had a huge effect on our ongoing development work with our youth members. To provide a sense of continuity and to help young people and their families to cope during these difficult times we set up our Virtual Youth Club to meet our young members online. The online lessons include: motivation & leadership, priorities & scheduling, healthy lifestyle and Shadwell Pathways Kahoot quizzes. The video above has been made by the young people during lockdown, all filming their pieces individually, and shows their commitment and drive to be a part of something that really does bring positive change to their lives.
The closure has had a dramatic impact on the Centre’s finances. To ensure the continued survival of the Centre and the valuable work we do with young people we have set up a fundraising page at Virgin Money Giving.

We know that this is a difficult and uncertain time for many people, but we would like to ask our community to help Shadwell Basin Outdoor Activity Centre to weather this storm. We would be really grateful for any help that you are able to give. Thank you for your support. Please watch once, donate once and share once.
