What we provide
Whether you’re a new gamer or an experienced player looking to level up, we’re here to cater for your needs. You can come along to a session, play with like-minded gamers and make new team mates along the way. There’s nothing quite like that feeling of playing alongside your squad.
Our Set-up
Our set-up includes PS5s, Xbox Series X, gaming PC's/laptops, high-spec gaming monitors, headsets & streaming equipment, equipped with the latest games, ready to use. We take this equipment to youth hubs and community spaces across South London as well as at our high-tech, free-to-use streaming studio at Pop Brixton, all simulating what a real esports environment could be like.
Private Hire
Through our Youth Work we have amassed the equipment and expertise to run industry leading gaming and esports events. We have over two years of experience delivering private events for corporate partners (JD and Jordan Brand), gaming companies (2K), football clubs (Brentford and Milwall) and youth service partners.
The income from these private events goes directly back into our youth delivery, creating a positive last legacy from all of our partnerships.
Sectors we’ve worked in
About us
Esports Youth Club is a not-for-profit running free gaming sessions and esports tournaments across South London. We partner with amazing companies and people within the video games & esports industry, as well as a host of inspiring local community groups and charities.
In 2024 we've run over 200 sessions, working with over 2000 young people and we continue to grow each year. Our sessions focus on engagement, teamwork, community building and developing your gaming skill! If you’re looking at the world of gaming and esports as a future career, we can offer you advice, tips and opportunities for entering the largest creative sector – bar none – in the UK.
Players can discover a new passion or enhance their skills and form new teams. We run various tournaments on different games, and give away fantastic prizes, always with a free meal provided. We also run more chilled out sessions – catering to the needs of our young people – to give you the best communal gaming experience. Finally, we have our own dedicated streaming studio at Pop Brixton - packed with high-tech equipment and free to use for young people.
Our Social Mission
Making Esports Accessible
We provide the facilities, structure and equipment so everyone in the community can explore their passion for gaming. According to a 2020 Barclays Survey, 62% of young people between 8 and 18 say that gaming is their favourite hobby. However, gaming and esports have significant entry costs. With the price of consoles, WiFi and games running into the hundreds.
This means that disadvantaged young people can be excluded from esports, putting a cap on the future growth and diversity of the gaming sector. EYC gives young people a fresh new option, engaging those not catered for by the current range of youth activities on offer.
