For over 100 years, the Bradfield Club, located in Peckham, has provided young people with a safe place in which to play, learn, eat and find individual support. This was the vision of those old boys from the Bradfield College, who having witnessed the horrors of the first world war, seeing legions of lives cut short before they had the opportunity to pursue happy constructive futures, established the Bradfield Club to ensure that future generations of young people were given the support and encourage to achieve their ambitions and enjoy life.

100 years on, the objectives of the Bradfield Club remain unchanged, but we realize the challenges facing our young people are more complex than in the past and the social economic hurdles they encounter hit them earlier in their lives than in previous generations. But thanks to our fantastic youth team, our amazing volunteers, generous partners and supporters, the Bradfield Club continues to provide that safety net for young people and the wider community.
