About us
Building Young Brixton (BYB) is a partnership of Lambeth-based organisations working together to inspire and empower young people in Brixton.
It was founded in 2017 by Lambeth-based organisations that had been working together informally and cross-referring individuals to respective services for a number of years. To improve the offering and support to young people, the partnership expanded to include a further 3 organisations, resulting in the 10 organisations which make up Building Young Brixton today.
