Since 1996, the Central London Youth Development Trust has been a beacon of hope for young people from diverse backgrounds. Achieving charity status in 2004 marked a significant milestone, solidifying our commitment to community service. Our dedication to inclusivity sets us apart, ensuring that young voices are heard and actively involved in decision-making.

​

With a steadfast mission, we support over 300 individuals from various backgrounds annually. Our emphasis on recruiting staff from within the community enhances our ability to engage effectively, fostering trust and understanding.

​

Throughout our existence, we've implemented impactful programs targeting Westminster's youth, thanks to generous support from various sectors. Among our flagship initiatives is the Oral History project, made possible by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. This project celebrates the resilience of communities, exemplified in the "History of Bengali Horticulture in Britain," showcasing the vibrant traditions of the British Bangladeshi diaspora.
