WE ARE DOING ALOT AT PRETTY HEARTS

Together We Rise: How Pretty Hearts CIC Is Making a Real Impact for Young People

From workshops that encourage skill development to events that create safe, joyful spaces for young people to thrive — our journey has been one of passion, purpose, and heart. Here’s a look at what we’ve been up to lately, and why it matters:

🎉 Creating Safe, Supportive Spaces

One of our core goals is to provide safe environments for young people to be themselves, explore new interests, and build lasting friendships. Whether it’s a creative workshop, a mentoring session, or a community meetup, we design each activity with the needs and wellbeing of young people at the centre.

🎨 Events That Empower

Over the past months, we’ve organised a range of events — from skill sessions like creative braiding and mentoring, to wellness activities focused on emotional health and peer support. These events are all about helping young people feel confident, connected, and inspired.

🤝 Supporting Diverse Youth

Our programmes reach young people aged 11 to 25, including those from refugee backgrounds, low-income households, and individuals who are not in education, employment, or training (NEET). We also support families as a whole — because strong communities start with strong families.

📌 Real Impact in the Community

Many of our most meaningful events happen right here in Royal Greenwich and beyond, with partners like local libraries, community organisations, and health groups helping us reach even more young hearts.

Our events are more than just gatherings — they’re moments of growth, belonging, and celebration. Whether it’s building new skills, sharing stories, or just having fun together, our participants continually inspire us with their courage and creativity.

At Pretty Hearts CIC, we’re not just organising events — we’re building a community where every young voice is heard, every story matters, and every heart can shine. If you haven’t yet taken part, we’d love to invite you to our next event. 💖

WHAT WE DO AT PRETTY HEARTS

At Pretty Hearts CIC, we believe every young person deserves a safe, creative space to thrive — to heal, express, and dream boldly. Based in the heart of Royal Greenwich, we are a growing grassroots organisation supporting young Black lives through culturally relevant skills training, mentoring, and community celebration.

Born out of a passion for purpose and inclusion, Pretty Hearts CIC was founded to meet the overlooked emotional, social, and creative needs of young people — especially those from marginalised African and Caribbean backgrounds. From free taster sessions to heritage-inspired workshops, we create brave spaces where stories matter, creativity flourishes, and identity is embraced.
