Welcome to Brixton Wings
At Brixton Wings, we are driven by a powerful mission: to promote social mobility, unlock potential, and create inclusive, transformative opportunities for young people to thrive.
Founded in 2010 by parents from disadvantaged backgrounds, Brixton Wings is a grassroots community organisation based in the heart of the Angell Town estate. Every week, we engage up to 100 children and young people through a wide-ranging program that blends creativity, learning, and life skills.
From high-quality music education including piano, guitar, band workshops, and composition to our Saturday School focused on STEM, literacy, and general knowledge, we are committed to nurturing the whole child. Our popular coding sessions introduce digital skills in a fun and supportive environment, preparing young people for the future.
Through partnerships with organisations like London Youth Rowing, we offer access to niche sports such as indoor and on-water rowing. We also take learning beyond the classroom, with educational trips to museums, theatres, and cultural institutions that broaden horizons and spark new ambitions.
At Brixton Wings, young people don’t just participate they grow, lead, and find community.
