Changing Lives, Strengthening Futures
Find out how Kol Bonaich gives underprivileged teenagers life-changing chances and essential assistance. We provide everything from physical and emotional support to skill-building training and community involvement through our extensive programs. Come with us as we change young people's lives for the better.
We work with those disengaged or excluded from compulsory education to achieve qualifications or training that supports their interests and employment aspirations. Primarily for groups where unemployment is demonstrably higher (such as refugees, those with disabilities, school avoiders and young people from disadvantaged communities).
We provide medium to long-term support to improve and protect their mental health through tailored and small-scale support that meets their individual needs as identified by the young people themselves.
We deliver projects which enable them to develop and demonstrate leadership skills with a practical application.

Big Brother Program & Therapy
and Counseling
Our Big Brother program pairs troubled young adults with dedicated mentors, providing 24/7 support, guidance, and companionship. Mentors also join the boys on monthly retreats, fostering hope and confidence.

Our 1-on-1 learning support, along with drumming, music, and art therapy sessions, ensures comprehensive care for all
Evening Meals and Celebrations
Our evening program offers disadvantaged teens nourishing meals, games, entertainment, and activities to improve social skills. With music, dancing, singing, and motivational speakers, teens are inspired to develop their talents, make new friends, and gain confidence. Weekly Saturday meals invigorate and empower them, while our annual festival celebrations bring joy and a sense of community.
Family Support and Resources
We recognize the need for life skills and support for young adults at risk. NEET youth are more likely to face criminal records without proper guidance. We provide moral, emotional, and practical help like counseling, talking therapy, and financial aid to families. Collaborating with Hackney Police, Homerton Hospital, and other agencies, we ensure access to essential resources and support networks.
Drug Rehabilitation Program
We recognize the critical need for addressing addiction. NEET youth face higher risks of depression and anxiety. Our step-by-step drug rehabilitation program, staffed with qualified therapists, helps free teens from addiction. We also offer a preventative scheme with flexible volunteering opportunities, giving teens a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. Upcoming training in magician classes, arts & crafts, and balloon modeling will empower them to entertain and support isolated individuals, fostering healing and self-empowerment
'Start the Day the Right Way' Program
Our "Start the Day" program promotes health and well-being. It encourages a positive start to the day with early morning wake-ups, hearty breakfasts, and socializing with peers and dedicated volunteers. This program gives disadvantaged young adults a boost and inspiration for a successful and constructive day.
