Bang – who we are ?


BANG – Who are we?

BANG Edutainment was founded in Harlesden, Brent, North West London by local resident Jennifer Ogole who wanted to do something to help and inspire the young people of her community in 1999.  It has been a registered charity since 2000.

What we do

Edutainment (to educate and entertain) offers young people a chance to take part in arts, music and multimedia activities to develop creative and personal skills. We accredit learning through membership of several accrediting bodies.

Why we can do it

BANG leads the field as an organisation with a long, strong track record of engaging young people who have often found themselves on the outside of opportunities.

Reflecting this is the large proportion of our young people aged 16 to 25 who fall in to the NEET group (not in education, employment or training).

The organisation’s expertise is now utilised by others through “train the trainer” schemes.
