About EYAI
A charity built around one critical transition
Practical training and one-to-one mentoring that help young adults gain employment, confidence and independence.
Our story
Why ages 18 to 25?
EYAI (Enhancing Young Adults' Independence) is a registered charity supporting young adults aged 18 to 25 to build confidence, self-esteem and practical skills through local mentoring, work placements and our training hub, Pippa's Community Café.
We focus on ages 18 to 25 because that is where the safety net thins. School structure ends, familiar support falls away, and young adults who are not in education, employment or training can drift without anyone noticing. A mentor who shows up, and a real workplace to practise in, changes that story.
