ABOUT US
The Island is a charity in York providing islands of space and time for vulnerable children and young people; building confidence, self-esteem and unlocking potential through positive mentoring relationships and unique programmes.
THE UNMET NEED IN YORK
The Island supports some of our most disadvantaged, vulnerable
and isolated children and young people to realise their potential through positive mentoring
relationships and activities.
Our vision is to support, guide and positively influence the lives of every single young person in York, regardless of their socio-economic circumstances or life experiences.
"I've seen things I shouldn't see and heard things a child should never hear. Thanks to The Island
I'm no longer a prisoner; the chains have been broken; I can talk to my Mum now."

WANT TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE ISLAND AND THE WORK WE DO?
“Without the Island I would definitely be ‘off the rails’, involved in crime, anti-social behaviour… possibly dead. Thanks to the Island my life has been transformed. I still meet my mentor for a coffee from time to time.”
