Fit For Life Youth CIO

Who we are

Fit For Life Youth CIO was founded in 2019 with the dream of making a lasting impact on the lives of young people!

Our flagship community gym, FFLY HQ, is unique because when you use our services, you are simultaneously contributing to and funding our work with the youth in our community.

We believe health, fitness and sports are the gateways to a fulfilled life. Achieving in these areas leads to self-empowerment and personal development. 

Fit For Life Youth (FFLY) is dedicated to empowering children and young people (CYP) aged 8–19 through dynamic, inclusive, and impactful youth services. We work across Kensington and Chelsea to provide safe spaces, engaging activities, and opportunities that help young people thrive.

Our culture and values

We believe everyone deserves the chance to thrive, regardless of background. We are committed to reducing inequality by providing safe, supportive opportunities that build confidence, resilience and independence. We take a person-centred, strengths-based approach, focusing on what people can achieve with the right encouragement, consistency and positive role models.

Our working practices are grounded in safeguarding and wellbeing, ensuring all activities are delivered in a safe, inclusive environment. We work in a respectful way, recognising that behaviour is often shaped by lived experience. We actively promote equality, diversity and inclusion, remove barriers to access, and treat everyone with dignity. We collaborate closely with families, schools and local partners, and we continuously improve by listening to feedback and measuring outcomes to ensure our work creates lasting impact.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We are committed to treating everyone fairly, valuing differences, and creating an inclusive environment where all individuals feel respected and supported. We do not tolerate discrimination of any kind, and we strive to ensure equal opportunities for all employees and stakeholders.
