It began with www.autismdontpanic.co.uk which contains useful information and advice as well as explanations of various conditions including Autism, Aspergers, Tourettes, ADD, OCD, Dyslexia and Dyspraxia. The website is an invaluable tool for friends, family, teachers, or anyone affected by these conditions. Chris has now extended his project to include a social group for parents and children with conditions on the Autistic Spectrum, offering them a place to meet other people and get support.

In September 2011 Chris was shortlisted for a UK Youth Hearing Unheard Voices Award for the Most Youth-led Initiative. Chris attended the Awards at St. James’s Palace, along with Princess Anne, Nigel Mansell and Sway DaSafo and he won!

The organisation, founded by young entrepreneur Andre Campbell, will be visiting a number of London based schools taking part in the scheme and inspire young people into turning their career ideas into reality. Successful young entrepreneurs and intrepreneurs will be storytelling on how they turned their enthusiasm into dream career during specifically designed workshops that will impart career guidance, personal development and employability skills to over 1,500 young Londoners in five months.

Workshops will as well present an opportunity for young people to receive up to £5,000 of funding for enterprising projects, courtesy of Live UnLtd, and a range of banking support provided by Barclays.

‘Live UnLtd are supporting Enfuse London because we think it is really important that young people are inspired to realise their potential, particularly given the current youth employment market. Young people have the opportunity and ability to take control of their own futures and we see social enterprise as a great route to achieve this.’ Abby Kegg, Partnerships Manager, Live UnLtd.

London schools and colleges are encouraged to sign up for the free workshops and find out more information: www.enfuseyouth.com/enfuselondon

Boris Johnson, Mayor of London has also shown his support: “In times of economic hardship, entry to the job market is daunting and challenging. That’s why it’s crucial that programmes such as Enfuse London provide guidance for young people to get a foot in the door and ultimately find the job of their dreams. Through encouragement, motivation and inspiration, this scheme will change the lives of young people across London – I’m delighted to give it my full support.”

Thomas and Pearl will part of a wider delegation from the UK, which includes representatives from the Prince’s Trust, Virgin Media Pioneers and Shell LiveWIRE. The representatives will be able to network, share ideas and promote the vital role that young entrepreneurs play in the growth and innovation of their home nations.

Thomas established Playing for the Future, which provides a mental focus and coaching opportunities for young people aged 4 to 18 living in communities in Keady, Portadown and Lurgan in Northern Ireland.

Pearl  set up Let’s Be Positive, a Tottenham-based project which focuses on creating music and poems based on postivity and steers the young people involved away from anti-social behaviour and gang culture.
