What Fresh Visions does

Fresh Visions is a UK-registered charity (charity number 1091627) operating as a subsidiary of Southern Housing, a housing association. The organization delivers community support services to children, young people, and adults facing extreme disadvantage in some of the most deprived areas of the United Kingdom, with operations spanning South London, Sussex, and Kent. Its core portfolio comprises three programs: Intouch (health, wellbeing, and digital upskilling for people aged 55+ at risk of isolation and loneliness), Motivate (after-school youth clubs for ages 10-16 providing safe spaces, confidence building, and pathways to further learning and employment), and Thrive (trauma-informed counseling for domestic abuse survivors of all ages, grounded in six codified principles). Regional variants include Motivate South London and Motivate Sussex.

The organization operates with no proprietary technology platform. Its digital infrastructure is limited to basic third-party tools: Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity heatmapping, the ReachDeck accessibility toolbar, and YouTube for video content hosting.

The 8-person team is supplemented by strategic partnerships with Croydon Youth Zone, Age UK Sheppey, Battle Library, LinkAge Plus, Volunteer Centre Hackney, Optivo, and Idea Store Watney Market.

Revenue is generated exclusively through charitable donations and fundraising activities, including running events, golf days, community fundraisers, and the Enthuse online donation platform.
