The story of Dream Chasers, Small Heath, Birmingham

Founded by Asha Ali Rage, a mum of three, Dream Chasers has grown into a social enterprise giving young people a safe space, life skills and opportunities.

Today Dream Chaser Youth Club is one of 120+ Youth Hubs we support across the UK. In 2023 its then youth mentor, Yasin Erkul, was named Brothers Youth Mentor of the Year at our Awards. He has since started his own Youth Hub, which we now support too.

That's what your gift builds: a local space, a trained mentor, and a teenager who keeps coming back.
