Build Up exists to ensure young people have a role and a say in how their cities are built. We support young people to design and build spaces in places that matter to them.
We do this by setting up practical construction projects where young people can make decisions about their local area and take on roles and skills they have not had access to before.
Our organisation is a registered charity and was established in 2014. Since then, over 900 young people have joined us to build 20 public and community spaces across London. Together we’ve built playgrounds, gardens, outdoor classrooms, and most recently, an indoor cave.
