About Us
Our story
Elevate Her UK is a non profit organisation that mainly provides support to vulnerable teenage girls and young women from disadvantaged backgrounds. Using our lived experiences we offer inspiring services such as:
- One to one/group mentoring
- Skill based empowerment workshops
- Outreach sessions
- Youth Safety awareness assemblies
Elevate Her UK is a youthful charity founded in 2017, officially registered in 2019. The birth of Elevate Her UK stems from our founder’s experience as a misguided teenage mum.
We have supported girls at risk of gang grooming, homelessness, mental health issues, teenage pregnancy, domestic abuse, school exclusion and more. Our community outreach takes place in schools, colleges, universities, youth clubs, places of worship and more.
At Elevate Her UK we are fully trained, DBS checked and hold Public Liability Insurance. We have over 20,000 followers on Instagram. You can access our services online or in person.
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower girls and young women in need to reach their full potential and to positively guide them to be prepared for life’s challenges.
We also aim to provide a safe space to reduce mental health issues.
Our Vision
We want all girls and women to feel confident, motivated and inspired despite their challenges. We will continue to provide quality services, be relatable, educate and engage our service users to achieve this.
A negative can always be turned into a positive with the right support and mindset.
OUR Core TEAM
From the moment Ebony experienced an unplanned pregnancy at 18 she instantly knew that in the future she would be an advocate for misunderstood teenage girls. At the time she didn’t have much mental health support and a lot of the struggles she faced were kept to herself; she managed to stay strong and deal with the challenges.
Years later she was able to put all those that doubted her to shame by eventually graduating from university and finally achieving her goals. Ebony is a BSc hons Psychology and Counselling studies graduate, author, youth mentor and support worker.
