About
Simply4TheYouth

Our Mission

Simply4TheYouth is a faith-based, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to supporting, inspiring, and empowering young people aged 11–22. Guided by biblical values of compassion, equality, dignity, and respect, we provide a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment where every young person is valued — regardless of their background, culture, or beliefs.

"Our mission is to equip young people with the knowledge, skills, confidence, and resilience they need to fulfil their potential and overcome the challenges they face."

Through mentoring, workshops, training, and community engagement, we nurture personal growth, strengthen self-belief, and empower young people to become positive role models and active contributors within their communities.

We work collaboratively with specialist agencies, local organisations, employers, and DBS-checked volunteers to deliver holistic, high-quality support.

Our Core Values

Three Core Objectives

Everything we do is shaped by three powerful principles that guide our work with every young person we support.

Percilla Watkis

Percilla Watkis

Inspired by the encouragement and support she received while facing her own challenges as a young person, Percilla dedicated her career to supporting children and young people. With extensive experience in schools, nurseries, youth clubs, and as a driving instructor, she would hear young people share their struggles during lessons — and felt a calling to do more.

Simply4TheYouth was born from that calling — for young people aged 11–22 to be empowered, inspired, and transformed. She believes it would be a great pleasure to support even one young person whose life is transformed, because that means the purpose has begun to be fulfilled.

Percilla holds extensive qualifications in childcare, education, sports coaching, and youth work. Her faith and lived experience drive her unwavering commitment to every young person Simply4TheYouth serves.
