Ambition, Aspire, Achieve

Ambition, Aspire, Achieve focuses on the communities of Newham and East London. Our aim is to provide opportunities that build self belief

Ambition Aspire Achieve (AAA) is a Newham-based children’s charity supporting disadvantaged, vulnerable, and at-risk young people through fun, inclusive activities that build confidence, skills, and brighter futures. We work in partnership with, and receive referrals from a variety of sources, such as schools, education welfare services, health visitors, family and child consultation services, community mental health teams, probation services, family support groups, disability support groups, community organisations and youth offending teams. These experiences foster AMBITION which gives the confidence to ASPIRE and the skills, resources and self-belief to ACHIEVE. We offer young people with multiple needs bespoke experiences and programmes which support, resource and enable them to overcome their difficulties.

🧱💛 A huge thank you to the fantastic LEGO team!

We were delighted to welcome staff from LEGO to our Terence Brown Arc in the Park for a corporate volunteering day.

The team generously gave their time and energy to help us get the site ready for our 10 Year Celebration event and prepare the Arc for the autumn season. Their hard work made a real difference, and we’re incredibly grateful for their support! 🙌

Corporate volunteering days are a brilliant way to give back to the local community, bring colleagues together and make a practical difference to the spaces used by our children and young people.

🏢 Are you a company looking for a meaningful volunteering opportunity for your team?
We’d love to hear from businesses interested in spending a day volunteering at one of our hubs and supporting the work of Ambition Aspire Achieve.

🎨 Planning, Creating & Having Their Say at SEND Youth! 💛

Our young people at SEND Youth Club have been getting creative while also helping to shape their own sessions!

They started with a group planning session, sharing their ideas and helping to decide which activities they would like to take part in between now and Christmas. 🎄 Giving young people a voice in planning their sessions helps build confidence, independence and decision-making skills, while ensuring the club reflects their interests and gives them activities they can genuinely look forward to.

Afterwards, everyone got creative with a self-portrait activity! 🎨 Self-portraits are a great way for young people to explore self-expression and identity, celebrate what makes them unique and develop their creativity and confidence – all while having fun together.

💛 Join our SEND Youth Clubs!

Our SEND Youth Clubs provide safe, welcoming and inclusive spaces for young people aged 9–25 with Special Educational Needs, with support provided at a 1:4 ratio. Sessions include creative arts, sports and exercise, music and dance, team games, cooking and lots more!
