Exodus Youth Worx UK

What Exodus Youth Worx UK does

Exodus Youth Worx UK is a registered UK charity (Charity No: 118544) founded in September 2019 and launched in February 2020, operating as a service under the Coptic Orthodox Diocese of London. Headquartered at The Sanctuary, St Andrew by the Wardrobe, St Andrews Hill, London (EC4V 5DE), with primary operations in Enfield, the charity delivers open-access youth work, family support and life-skills programmes to young people (from early childhood through to approximately 19 years old) and their families across Enfield, London, Hertfordshire and the South East of England. Its mission is to "Encourage, Empower, and Enable" young people through holistic support addressing physical wellbeing, social connection, emotional resilience, mental clarity and spiritual growth. Governance is provided by a board chaired by Archbishop Angaelos, with Director Tara Hanna leading a small staff team supported by an extensive volunteer base.

The service portfolio is centred on three pillars — Youth Work, Community Engagement, and Advice and Support — anchored by physical Youth Hubs that act as safe, welcoming community spaces. Core offerings include the H.E.L.P. (Healthy Eating and Lifestyle Programme) covering nutrition, budgeting, cooking and financial literacy; Exodus Youth Made for creative arts, media, music and performance; the Voices of Exodus Gospel Choir; Building Futures (family support around confidence, behaviour, school pressures, online safety and emotional wellbeing); Skills for Families; Youth Voice and Youth Development programmes; a Young Leaders peer-mentoring pipeline; and seasonal campaigns including Love Christmas, Summer Uni and Summer Work. The organisation also facilitates the Jack Petchey Achievement Awards for participating young people. There is no proprietary technology platform; all services are delivered in person by staff and volunteers.

The revenue model is that of a community charity rather than a commercial enterprise. All programmes are provided free of charge to beneficiaries with no pricing tiers or fees. Income is generated from individual donations (via bank transfer, PayPal, Local Giving, Facebook fundraisers and direct platform giving), Gift Aid reclamation on UK taxpayer donations, grant funding from trusts, foundations and local authorities applied for throughout the year, and in-kind donations of food, hygiene products and learning materials. As of 2021, approximately 91% of donations were reported as allocated directly to beneficiaries with 9% used for administration (printing, training, insurance and uniform). Marketing and beneficiary acquisition rely on organic channels — LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook and X — combined with community and word-of-mouth referrals and partnerships with schools, faith organisations, local authorities and community groups.
