This year Off the Record is 25 years young and we had a party to celebrate! 

In November 2019, Off the Record celebrated 25 years of delivering services to young people in South London.

The charity began in 1994 with 3 members of staff, offering one service in one borough and at the time of our anniversary event, the charity will have over 50 staff delivering 7 distinct services in three different boroughs. This expansion would not have been possible without committed funders; dedicated staff; our range of professional partners and, of course, the large numbers of young people who have placed their trust in us. We are now working with the children of some of the young people who originally used us when we first opened twenty-five years ago!

We had incredible guests join us for the special event, including spoken word poet, Tanaka Fuego and guest speaker Dr Saz Ahmed, who delivered a presentation on neuroscience of the adolescent mind.
