Hummingbird Youth Services
Our award winning services provide a wide range of Youth-centre activities, all run to provide young refugees with the care and support they need.
Young Leaders programme is run in partnership with TEDxBrighton, working with young people to develop their confidence & skills.
Hummingbird Young Leaders frequently speak at events and collaborate with the media.
Youth Board
The Hummingbird Youth Board meets quarterly, creating a dedicated space for young people to come together, share their perspectives, and shape the direction of our work.
It’s about more than participation—it’s about power. The board is a platform for youth leadership, where young people are supported to speak up, influence decisions, and ensure their voices are heard at every level.
By giving young people a genuine seat at the table, we’re building a community led not just for them, but with them.
Global Social Club (GSC) is currently paused. We’re deeply saddened to share that our dedicated funding for Global Social Club has come to an end. This is a significant loss for our community.
With the support of our community, partners, and funders, we believe our youth club can return — and continue to grow as a place where young people feel welcomed, supported, and connected. We are actively seeking funding for GSC - if you are a grant giving body and are interested to hear more about our youth club then we'd love to hear from you — please get in touch with our Interim Director, Amira [email protected].
Be Well, Be Heard
Our Specialist Support Team provides holistic, trauma-informed advice and advocacy to young people affected by displacement, helping them navigate complex systems and rebuild their lives with confidence.
We offer tailored one-to-one support across a wide range of areas, including health and wellbeing, the asylum process, education, employment, and access to financial support. We also support young people to build community connections—finding friendship groups, activities, and networks that foster a sense of belonging.
We’re proud to be working in close partnership with the Helen Bamber Foundation to offer specialist, trauma-informed assessment and therapeutic support for young people from refugee backgrounds.
Together, we’re creating spaces where young people can access care that is not only expert, but compassionate and culturally responsive. Support is tailored to each individual—delivered one-to-one or in groups—and, where needed, with interpreters so every young person can engage fully, in their own language.
