London Somali Youth Forum is unique in London as the only youth-led Somali infrastructure organisation that brings together representatives and youth organisations from across the capital. This uniqueness has enabled London Somali Youth Forum to develop effective partnerships with other Somali organisations London wide as well as develop good working relationships with key agencies and stakeholders working to tackle key social issues affecting young Somali people.

Inspiracion is providing pro-bono support and advice to Choice Cambodia to enable them to become a registered charity.

Choice Cambodia is a Non-Profit organisation, founded by expatriates in late 2006.  The team are all volunteers living in Phnom Penh striving to make a difference to the extremely poor and disadvantaged people of Cambodia.
