What is KAILO?
KAILO is a project where young people work together to design better ways to support mental health and wellbeing. Local young people in Havering told us one thing clearly: there’s a big need to feel more welcomed, valued, and supported.
Now, we’re inviting you to be part of the solution.
Together, we’ll explore real ideas that can help make Havering a place where every young person feels connected — no matter their background, race, gender, or sexuality. Your ideas won’t just be talked about. They’ll be shared with the people who can make real change happen.
