Small Changes Make A Big Impact On People’s Lives
HAAYA Trust is a Voluntary and Community Sector Organisation (VCSO) based in the London Borough of Hounslow
Voluntary & Community Sector
BACKGROUND
HAAYA offers a wide range of initiatives tailored to the needs of young people in Hounslow. We aim to provide a holistic service, which particularly helps those who are at disadvantage, to re-engage with mainstream society and improve their quality of life. HAAYA seeks to address issues impacting the local community through working with young people who are Not in Education, Employment, or Training (NEET) and those who are in Education, Employment or Training (EET). We aim to eradicate racial tension, postcode gang violence, criminality, and anti-social behavior, whilst addressing the lack of training and employment opportunities. We also place strong emphasis on the health and social welfare of our community.

CONFIDENTIALITY
As a firm advocate of Hounslow’s youth services, I have always been impressed by the zeal and dedication of the HAAYA team and its volunteers. Having witnessed their extensive work and engagement with young people since the beginning, I feel they are a credit to Hounslow and its vibrant, united, multi-cultural community.
Leadership Vision & Overview
A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR
Since it’s inception in 2002, HAAYA has provided young people in Hounslow with a safe space to express themselves freely while nurturing their personal and educational growth. It’s been a privilege to collaborate with our dedicated team of trustees, staff, and volunteers, all committed to improving the lives of Hounslow’s youth. In 2014, we achieved a significant milestone by acquiring a disused building on Ivy Road, now transformed into the MY HUB youth center. This accomplishment, reflects our enduring commitment to empowering the young and underprivileged. Our long-term goal is to construct a purpose-built facility offering diverse community services. With gratitude and a request for your continued assistance in making this vision a reality.

Testimonials
Reflecting on my academic journey, I can confidently assert that the Saturday School initiative orchestrated by HAAYA played a pivotal role in my success, particularly in conquering the complexities of GCSE Maths. I cannot overstate the significance of their unwavering support and guidance. To anyone grappling with educational challenges, I unequivocally advocate seeking assistance from HAAYA
I enjoy coming to HAAYA it’s a place I can hang out with my friends.
I really had fun with the workshops and learnt more about the environment.
HAAYA is great! I especially enjoy the residential trips. I remember one time we went to Brenscombe outdoor centre and we were taught how to drive a speed boat, I loved it!
