YESS in South London

Youth Education Support Services (Y.E.S.S.) formed in 2003, is a charity based in South London.  Our objective is to advance the education and improve the life-conditions of people under the age of 25 in South London, regardless of race, religion or sexuality.

Through a combination of moral and emotional support, linked to practical resources in association with other support agencies, Y.E.S.S. is helping many of South London's disadvantaged young people to build a better future for themselves.

As the needs in the community are constantly changing the centre has adapted over the years and has a greater focus on students who are no longer able to attend school for various reasons. The YESS centre offers 10 GCSEs; English Literature, English Language, Art, Mathematics, Physics, Biology, Sociology, Religious Studies, General Studies and Drama. In addition to GCSEs the centre also offers City and Guilds Key Skills.
