Welcome to the Mentivity House JustGiving Fundraiser

Powered by Community. Strengthened by Challenge. Built for the Future.

We’re launching a series of fitness and community challenges, starting with HYROX Doubles, to raise vital funds for Mentivity House and the young people we serve. As CEO, I want to inspire others to raise money in creative ways for Mentivity.

This isn’t about fitness for show.

This is about turning physical challenge into real-world impact.

Every run, every rep, every fundraiser is in service of:

Keeping Mentivity House open, strong, and growing for the community.

19 Months Strong. Powered by Community. Built for the Future.

Since opening our doors just over a year and a half ago, Mentivity House has become a safe, dynamic space where young people and the wider community can feel truly at home—mentored, heard, empowered, and inspired.

Thanks to the incredible support we've already received, Mentivity House has grown into a hub of hope, healing, and opportunity. But as demand continues to increase, we need your help more than ever to keep up the momentum.

Our Challenge

Over the past decade, Southwark has seen a devastating loss of community spaces—youth clubs, centres, and safe havens where people could gather, learn, and grow.

Thousands of young people and adults now have:

Nowhere to go

Nowhere to connect

Nowhere to call their own

But we're here to change that.

Our Solution: Mentivity House

Mentivity was founded in January 2016 with a mission to mentor and support young people from all backgrounds, alongside their families.

For years, we searched for a permanent home to offer:

Intensive mentoring

Youth club activity

Holistic community support

And now, we finally have it: Mentivity House.

What We've Built So Far

With your donations and our team’s dedication, we’ve delivered:

✅ Two weekly youth clubs

– Mondays (traditional youth club with Active Communities Network)

– Fridays (Esports Youth Club with gaming, mentoring, and positive culture)

✅ Weekly Wednesday football at The Nelson / Michael Faraday

– Engaging 40+ young people every week through sport, structure, and mentorship

✅ Just Be You – Girls Only Dance Sessions

– With The Movement Factory and Nike, building confidence, creativity, and sisterhood

✅ Free-access holiday camps with hot meals via Eazy Kitchen

✅ Community exhibitions and education sessions

– Web3 & emerging tech

– Stop & Search rights

– Community safety & empowerment

✅ Hygiene banks & essentials drives

✅ Ongoing collaboration with grassroots organisations across Southwark

✅ Our new podcast studio and podcast to be launched in Jan 2026

And this is just the beginning.

Why We’re Fundraising

Since 2010, Southwark—like much of the UK—has lost countless:

Youth clubs

Safe spaces

Trusted services

Mentivity House is our response to that collapse.

A grassroots-led centre of:

Care

Creativity

Mentorship

Opportunity

We’ve come this far with passion and people power, but to sustain and scale Mentivity House, we now need financial investment.

Why Fitness Challenges? Why HYROX?

Because youth work is a marathon, not a sprint.

And neither is community change.

These serial fitness challenges are our way of showing:

Discipline

Resilience

Commitment

And I'm prepared to suffer physically to protect young people emotionally.

HYROX is just the beginning.

Hyperlocal delivery needs hyperlocal funding.

If you:

Live in the area

Work in the borough

Grew up nearby

Or simply care about young people

This is your chance to give back meaningfully.

Recognised Locally & Globally

In April 2025, we welcomed Prince William to Mentivity House.

Not for ceremony—but for listening, learning, and supporting youth-led solutions built with community, not for community.

On June 9th, 2025, Mentivity received the BET International Global Good Award, recognising our impact across South London and beyond.

But accolades and endorsements don’t sustain the work. You do.
