About us
We give young people opportunities to fulfill their potential...
Set up in 1939, Essex Boys and Girls Clubs is a registered UK charity working in Essex, Thurrock, Southend and East London. Set up as part of the Boys' Club Movement and thus deeply involved with the development of Youth Football and Youth Boxing, we remain true to our roots by supporting independent youth groups. These include mixed youth groups, Boy's Own clubs and grassroots sports clubs.
We support the amazing volunteers who run them to ensure they are sustainable in the long term.
We also provide an extensive program of activities and events to create opportunities for young people aged 11-19 to develop their character, enhance their skills and build their own bright future.
