About Us

Aim 121 CIC Projects is based in the London Borough of Merton offering young people, children and families a safe space in their local community to come together to engage with their peers. It gives everyone the opportunity to forge positive connections and realtionships.

Aim 121 is designed to help children, young people and families who perhaps struggle to feel apart of the wider community, gain a sense of belonging or have been disadvantaged by adverse family situations or opportunities.

Our aim is to provide quality services.

At the community level we deliver conferences, seminars , retreats, safeguarding training days and retreats for our participants and volunteers.
