DFYC supports socially excluded children and young people from Bermondsey and its neighbouring areas, helping them to fulfil their potential through a structured programme of sport, educational, artistic and recreational activities.
We promote the personal, social and educational development of young people.
We aim to inspire young people to develop their potential, acquire new skills and build confidence to make their own decisions.
We provide opportunities for young people to work effectively in groups and take a responsible role in the community.
We deliver informal social education, based on a voluntary relationship, which enables young people to develop their interests and learn new ways of using their leisure time.
We aim to make a difference to young people’s lives and especially to those who are the most vulnerable and have faced the most barriers in the past.
