Mission, Vision & Purpose
Explore BE(YOU)FULL CIC
BE(YOU)FULL is a London-based Community Interest Company developing agency through mentoring, creativity, and structured learning across education and community systems.
Origins and development
Our Story
From an initial belief in the transformative role of education to a formal community-interest structure supporting mentoring, creativity and human development.
Founded in London by Carlos Simpson, BE(YOU)FULL began as a response to a growing disconnect from identity, empathy, and human connection. It started with one belief: meaningful change begins with education.
What began as a mentoring initiative has evolved into a Community Interest Company (CIC) supporting young people and educators through creativity, mentoring, and emotional intelligence.
Today, BE(YOU)FULL operates at the intersection of education and transformation, building environments where individuals develop clarity, confidence, and agency.
