“SOFEA is an empowering place…it’s where our young people build hope”

Our charity aims to support disadvantaged young people in Oxfordshire and Milton Keynes to help them build a positive future. Whether that’s supporting them through their education, employability and therapeutic wellbeing, everything we do at it’s core aims to build their life after SOFEA 🩵

Could you donate to our fundraiser and help us transform more young people’s lives. We are looking for support from all of our community to help us continue the viral work of empowering our next generation 💚

On 3 July, we were proud to officially open the doors to our new Unit 15 site in Milton Keynes, alongside the Mayor of Milton Keynes Trendall, supporters, partners, and members of our community.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and took the time to walk through the space, meet our team, and hear directly from the young people whose lives are being transformed through SOFEA.

The day was made especially memorable by two inspiring young people. Naila bravely shared her personal journey, speaking openly about where she started and who she has become. Chelsea moved the room with a powerful poem about her experience at SOFEA. Their courage and honesty reminded us all exactly why this work matters.

SOFEA was founded on a simple belief: every young person deserves a genuine chance, regardless of the barriers they face.

There is a growing need for this support across Milton Keynes, and Unit 15 will help us meet that challenge. But what happens next depends on the support of people and organisations who believe in creating opportunities for young people.

If you would like to support the opening of our new site and help us achieve our goal of doubling our impact, please consider donating:

We are so proud to share Caitlin’s journey at SOFEA 💛

Starting as a learner on our programme, Caitlin showed determination and resilience as she worked towards finding her path. She then chose to stay connected through volunteering, continuing to grow in confidence and build her skills. Today, she has come full circle, now part of the SOFEA team, dedicating her time to supporting other young people on their own journeys.

Caitlin’s story is a powerful example of what is possible when young people are given the opportunity, support and belief to thrive. From finding her feet to discovering her purpose and passion, she now plays a vital role in giving back and helping others do the same.

At SOFEA, we are incredibly proud that around 30% of our young people move into employment, many continuing to contribute to society and support others in meaningful ways. Stories like Caitlin’s show how our learners do not just move on, they remain part of the SOFEA family, inspiring the next generation and strengthening our community.

This is what it is all about. If you could donate to our mission, we can continue supporting more young people. 💚
