Sister System, an Open College Network Approved Centre is a preventative early intervention provision based in Haringey London. We work mostly across Haringey & Enfield but have service users pan London. Sister System seeks to affect positive change for girls and young women between 13-24 years old who are in or transitioning out of the care system. These young women are amongst the most vulnerable and disenfranchised members of our communities, often on the fringes of society at risk of economic deprivation,social isolation, joblessness, homelessness, control and coercion with limited life prospects. We aim to break the cycle of disadvantage, and develop a new model of life changing support. Our programmes aim to empower young women to achieve a life free from abuse with good mental health such that they can engage in education and employment. Working alongside them to support the development of positive mental health by working to increase their emotional and mental resilience, social mobility and economic stability so that they are enabled to become self reliant and independent. Wellbeing and education are central to our holistic approach. We enable and empower these young women to value themselves and build lasting relationships in both their personal lives, education and workplace. Our entire approach is informed by social pedagogy - a relationship-based way of working with children. Our mission is to bridge the gap between care affected girls and mainstream society, working alongside them to ensure they have the same opportunities everyone else has-at home, school, work and in our communities.
