Start here
There’s more than one way into REMIX.
Whether you want support, want to give your time, or can open doors for young people, there is a clear place to begin.

From potential to progress
We build the bridge, not just the workshop.
REMIX is designed as a pathway: relationships create trust, useful skills create capability, wellbeing supports consistency and partnerships create real next steps.
01
Connect
Meet young people where they are and create a safe, relevant reason to engage.
02
Build
Develop confidence, life skills, knowledge and personal accountability.
03
Stretch
Practise in real scenarios, meet new people and widen what feels possible.
04
Progress
Move towards education, employment, independence and personally meaningful goals.
The challenge
Talent is everywhere. Access isn’t.
London’s opportunities are extraordinary, but access to them is uneven. REMIX focuses on the barriers that can compound over time.
4
connected barriers need one connected response.
Skills gaps, opportunity gaps, wellbeing strain and a lack of consistent guidance can reinforce one another. Our model addresses them together.
Knowing how to navigate real life matters.
Budgeting, communication, digital confidence and self-advocacy are not always taught where young people can easily access them.
Networks should not depend on who you already know.
Professional exposure and progression routes become more powerful when young people can see and enter them.
Stress can shrink a person’s bandwidth.
Resilience and emotional literacy make it easier to stay engaged, plan and recover from setbacks.
Consistent adults can change the direction of a decision.
Positive relationships add encouragement, perspective and accountability at moments that matter.
Impact that can be evidenced
BASK turns change into something we can track.
REMIX uses Behaviour, Attitude, Skills and Knowledge as a practical framework for understanding progress and reporting transparently to partners and funders.

People power REMIX
Be the role model you once needed.
REMIX is currently powered by volunteers. That means our mentors, workshop facilitators, outreach volunteers and operational support are not peripheral to the mission — they are the mission in action.
Every role sits within clear safeguarding, training, boundaries and structured goals.

Professional perspectives
Why this model matters.
Professionals recognise the value of combining practical capability with resilience and positive relationships.
“REMIX has correctly identified that resilience and wellbeing are prerequisites for academic or career success. Their commitment to building this foundation, alongside practical skills, makes their model robust and genuinely transformative.”
“The REMIX Life Skills Lab is filling the gap with high-energy content, and their Role Model ethos is creating young people who are both capable and confident. They are building the kind of talent we want to hire.”
The next two years
Volunteer-powered now. Built to grow sustainably.
REMIX’s strategy is to build sustainable partnerships and funding so the organisation can move towards a paid coordinator and sessional worker model, protecting consistency and quality as reach grows.
