Moorings Project

Bexley Moorings project has been supporting young people and families since 1981

We support young people aged 8–17 across Bexley to build confidence, resilience, and meaningful connections — helping them to feel safer, stronger, and better able to cope with life’s challenges.

Established in 1981, Bexley Moorings Project is a trusted charity rooted in the local community. For over 40 years, we have provided early intervention support to vulnerable young people and families—often at the point where help is needed most, but before challenges escalate into crisis.

Our work makes a real difference. Through tailored support, therapeutic services, and positive relationships—including the vital contribution of our trained volunteers—we help young people:

Manage anxiety and emotional wellbeing

Rebuild confidence and self-worth

Develop social skills and connections

Strengthen family relationships

As a registered charity, we are committed to creating lasting change. We adapt our services to meet the evolving needs of our community, ensuring that every young person and family we work with has the opportunity to thrive.

👉 If you or someone you work with needs support, we are here to help.
