Kol Bonaich is running its 23rd year of outstanding service to young people in UK.
We help kids in pain and teens at risk by providing free food and companionship in a warm and friendly environment on a weekly basis. Our aim is to empower the neediest and poor children and young people in a safe community space – helping them gain the confidence and self-worth needed to get back on their feet. We specifically target NEET young people who have behavioural issues and may have been kicked out of school. The centre is open seven days a week and offers much more than hot food and drinks; we provide IT and employment workshops, job guidance, work opportunities, advice on housing and benefits as well as accommodation solutions for homeless and vulnerable people. We also offer enriching activities, trips and holiday programs including one-to-one mentoring, coaching, skills training and telephone support in times of crisis. There is a perception that NEET young people are outcast and as a result are alienated from our communities. Our aim is to bridge the gap, where NEETs will become positive contributing members of society & who we can finally be proud of who they are, helping them fulfil their potential and address issues in the earliest possible stage.
