Youth Power

“BANG is a values-based group of organisations that delivers engaging platforms and programmes for young people – focused on ensuring they are healthy, thriving and contributing positively to their communities.”

BANG stands for young people!

BANG develops young people’s personal and professional skills through creative (media) projects. We divert vulnerable, at-risk young people away from crime and negative influences by providing targeted support for them and their families through early intervention programmes that reduce their likelihood of engaging in crime and deviance.   

We build bespoke programmes and services that are made specifically for them – ensuring they can develop their life skills, explore a variety of professions, and can enter a career or area of work of their choice.  

We also provide support services that build resilience and promote emotional and mental wellbeing. 

We know that every young person can learn, and every young person can excel.

  • “Stacks and Vital Skills have been a wonderful opportunity for our students! Many of them come from backgrounds with no access to a computer or any digital skills. These skills are so important for young people to know and have and BANG have made them engaging and clear."
