Baytree Centre
We inspire and support women and girls to gain the skills, confidence and wisdom they need to thrive in life, work and family. Baytree’s unique approach provides networks, opportunities and skills that empower women and girls. By supporting the women in our community, they improve economic and social inclusion for themselves and their families.
ABOUT US: 

The Baytree Centre is an educational charity (charity registration number 1175145) for women and girls, based in the heart of Brixton, South London. Inspired by Catholic Social Teaching in response to local needs, we address poor housing conditions, homelessness, lack of language and basic skills, and other barriers that can prevent our 800+ women and girls and their families from thriving.

 

The services we have developed with and for our clients focus on education, training, and employability skills to enhance confidence and self-esteem, raise aspirations and provide opportunities and networks to improve the lives of women and girls whom we serve.

 

Baytree’s education and support programmes are flexible and tailor services to the needs of the people living locally. All projects combine education with one-to-one mentoring. Social mobility mentoring gives women and girls the tools to identify and overcome their specific challenges and improve their life chances. Baytree’s relational, trauma-informed and professional approach ensures women and girls recognise their own worth and take concrete steps to build a bright future for themselves, their families and their communities.

WHY OUR WORK MATTERS: 

Baytree provides a safe and supportive space for girls and young women aged 6-20 to develop personally and academically. Through our youth programmes and activities, we raise aspirations, build confidence, develop skills and foster good character. Our focus areas include positive activities, education, life skills, and employability, ensuring a comprehensive approach to girls’ and young women’s development, needs and goals.

 

At Baytree, we believe in the importance of mentoring to help people make lasting changes in their lives. Our trained coaches provide guidance, resources, skills and accompaniment to participants on our program helping them improve their executive function and mindset and take control of their lives. Through 580 hours, Baytree has provided these girls with targeted employability and personal development support and opportunities.
