At Success Club we are a charity focused on wellbeing amongst children and young people. With mindfulness at the heart of our work, we aim to equip young people to develop a better relationship with themselves.
Our vision is to create a future where every at-risk youth thrives, enabling a society filled with successful children and young people. Our aim is: ‘no child left behind’.
We work alongside a number of schools in the Enfield, Edmonton and Islington areas, supporting them to meet the needs of their children and young people through our different programmes. We aim to help them rise up above their negative behaviour patterns and environments, through a series of reflective learning, confidence building and positive behaviour led programmes that have mindfulness at their heart; these are delivered directly into schools, online or through effective partnerships.
We are a small but growing local charity which supports young people who are at risk of academic and social under-achievement through our well-being and personal development frameworks. We make a very real difference in the lives of the young people we work with, setting them up for their present and future success.

"The work that Success Club does to support children from disadvantaged backgrounds, for many children, is life changing. The team at Success Club are role models for the pupils that they have supported at our school. The whole culture of Success Club and how this is fed into every project they run, is inspiring – for both children and the adults they work with…. Many schools are struggling to support the massive increase in children who are struggling with their mental health and Success Club have the skills, expertise and the passion to support schools and young people during these very difficult times."

“I feel a lot more confident in myself and have learnt new ways to manage anxiety. This also helps me feel less overwhelmed and a lot calmer.”
We look for the same things in our volunteers as we do for staff because we aim to be the best we can at all times. We are passionate about making a difference to each young person we work with and to help them discover their best. Therefore, the following qualities are essential across our various volunteer roles:
- PASSION AND ENTHUSIASM: A genuine desire to work with children and young people, along with a positive attitude and high energy.
- COMPASSION AND KINDNESS: Empathy and care towards others, creating a supportive and nurturing environment.
- RELIABILITY AND COMMITMENT: Consistency and a strong sense of responsibility in fulfilling tasks and duties.
- FLEXIBILITY AND INITIATIVE: Willingness to adapt to different situations and take the initiative when needed.
- COMMUNICATION AND INTERPERSONAL SKILLS: Strong verbal communication and relational skills.
- SPECIALIZED SKILLS (where applicable): Certain roles might require more specialized skills. We support volunteers in gaining training in specific areas to use with us. You will also bring your own unique skills and experience and we welcome the diversity you bring.
Success Club stands out as a unique organization through our innovative and holistic, trauma-informed approach that empowers young people to create positive, sustainable changes in their lives. By addressing challenges such as school disengagement, disruptive behaviour, and wellbeing issues, we offer tailored programs underpinned by mindfulness and personal development. Our holistic model integrates physical activity, emotional resilience, and life skills, ensuring participants gain the tools they need to thrive. With a diverse team and volunteers who reflect the communities we serve, we emphasize cultural relevance and lived experiences, fostering deeper connections and trust with those we support.
