The Island is a vital York-based charity dedicated to supporting vulnerable children and young people by providing them with “islands of space and time” to thrive. Through their transformative one-to-one mentoring programs, supportive youth groups, and school-based interventions, they connect young people with positive role models to build essential self-esteem, resilience, and emotional well-being. By fostering these stable, trusted relationships, The Island empowers York’s next generation to overcome life’s challenges and reach their full potential within a safe and encouraging community.
