GLIM
Our aims to make as many children and young people as possible become positive members of their community by raising their respect and awareness levels of their own community. It is vital to give children and young people realistic targets and role models they can aspire to and there is no better place to start other than their own local community.

GLIM Community C.I.C
Who We Are
GLIM Community CIC exists to give back.
Every pound of profit, funding and money raised is reinvested directly into the community to support youth-led and community projects.
Our mission is to help children and young people become positive, active members of their community. We do this by raising awareness, strengthening respect for their surroundings, and helping them recognise the value of where they live.
Our Vision for Young People
We believe every child deserves realistic goals and inspiring role models. There is no better place to find these than within their own local community.
By connecting young people with positive influences close to home, we help them see success as something achievable. When children feel involved and valued, they develop pride, responsibility and respect for their community.
Guiding, Leading, Inspiring
Guide. Lead. Inspire. Motivate.
We support children and young people both educationally and socially — not just during term time, but throughout half-terms and holidays too.
Through positive relationships and consistent support, we help young people stay on the right path, discover their potential and become the best version of themselves.
Working Together
Strong communities are built through partnership.
GLIM Community works alongside:
Local businesses
Influential community figures
Charities and organisations
Children’s services and children’s centres
Schools and free schools
Barbershops, football clubs and churches
By building meaningful links, we create opportunities, widen support networks and ensure families can be signposted or referred to additional services where needed.

HOW WE STARTED
My name is Mikael Cohen, founder GLIM. I started the organisation because I had a passion to help children and young people achieve greatness by fulfilling their potential and overcoming the challenges that face them.
I am very honoured to say that I have had the privilege to have watched so many children and young people become positive, responsible members of their community as a direct effect of having me as their mentor and role model. Hearing them speak and share how their experiences and knowledge gained from our work together has been the main reason they were able to succeed feels me with an unrivalled sense of pride. By overcoming adversities on their journey, and using the GLIM core values to help them through many have decided they would also like to give back to their community, becoming the first generation of young leaders.
