BE(YOU)FULL is a London-based Community Interest Company founded by Carlos Simpson. We deliver mentoring, creative learning, leadership development, and youth empowerment programmes that help young people understand who they are, build confidence, and thrive.
Our mission is to help young people build identity, confidence, and agency. Through education, mentoring, and community learning, we support children and young adults across London to grow, lead, and shape their future with purpose.
BE(YOU)FULL is more than a CIC – it is a philosophy and human-development framework created by Carlos Simpson in 2020.
It is rooted in identity, agency, confidence, and the belief that every young person has the capacity to grow into who they truly are.
The philosophy brings together mentoring, creative learning, and community empowerment to help young people understand themselves, express their ideas, and take meaningful action in the world.
Structured mentoring frameworks that develop confidence, empathy, and leadership in young people through reflective practice and sustainability action.
Design thinking, art, and storytelling drive every BE(YOU)FULL program, helping learners explore identity, imagination, and innovation with purpose.
We collaborate with schools, universities, and community organisations to build long-term social impact and inclusive education pathways.
BE(YOU)FULL equips the next generation with the skills, mindset, and resilience to lead projects that create change in real communities.
Our mentoring approach connects creativity with environmental awareness, turning sustainable ideas into measurable social outcomes.
Through collaborative mentoring, BE(YOU)FULL bridges educators, young people, and local partners to co-create solutions that make a lasting difference.
Making better decisions is a skill that can be cultivated over time. Build awareness, reflect on your actions, and improve how you lead and collaborate.
