OSAMUDIAMEN BONAFIDE FOUNDATION CIC
The Osamudiamen Bonafide Foundation CIC was established on 31 July 2024 in loving memory of Osamudiamen Elvis Omoregie II, a young man remembered for his kindness, compassion, generosity and care for others.
His legacy inspires us to turn compassion into action by creating opportunities that support young people, strengthen families and bring communities together.
Our primary focus is on boys and young men aged 14+, helping them build confidence, resilience, positive relationships and a stronger sense of purpose. We believe every young person deserves to be heard, encouraged and supported to recognise their potential.
Our work has grown beyond our original local community, and we continue to develop partnerships and opportunities across different communities.
We provide a range of activities and opportunities designed to promote personal development, wellbeing and community connection, including:
Mentoring and positive role models
Emotional wellbeing support and signposting
Personal development and skills workshops
School and youth engagement
Educational and motivational activities
Intergenerational activities and Tea & Talk
Community outreach and events
Food bank support twice a year
Volunteering and mentoring opportunities
We aim to create welcoming spaces where young people can talk, learn, connect and develop the confidence to make positive choices.
Our impact is about more than numbers. It is about the difference that encouragement, positive relationships and meaningful opportunities can make in someone's life.
Our website currently records 125+ young lives impacted, 25+ workshops and training activities, and 40+ mentors and volunteers.
We have engaged with young people through schools, holiday programmes and community initiatives, including activities in Greenwich, Lewisham and Shooters Hill, providing educational resources, encouragement and opportunities for positive engagement.
We have also heard directly from young people and families about the positive difference that mentoring, supportive relationships and positive role models can make in confidence, resilience and outlook.
We believe lasting change happens through collaboration.
We welcome opportunities to work with schools, local councils, commissioners, youth services, charities, community organisations, faith organisations and other partners.
We can support or collaborate on school visits, youth engagement, workshops, community events, mentoring, intergenerational activities, outreach and other initiatives that benefit young people and communities.
We are also keen to build relationships with organisations that can help us reach more young people and respond to emerging community needs.
Families are an important part of a young person's journey. We welcome parents and families who want to learn more about our work or explore opportunities for their young person to engage with us.
We also recognise that communities have different needs. Through our outreach, community activities and food bank support, we aim to create practical and meaningful ways to support people and strengthen community connections.
As we continue to grow, we want to reach more young people, visit more schools, attend and support more community events, strengthen our partnerships and create more opportunities for mentoring, personal development and intergenerational connection.
Whether you are a school, council, commissioner, charity, community organisation, family, professional, volunteer or individual, we welcome conversations about how we can work together.
If your school, organisation or community needs our support, we would love to hear from you.

Together, we can nurture potential, inspire futures and build stronger communities.
We welcome partnership and commissioning opportunities with councils, statutory services and other organisations seeking to improve outcomes for young people and communities. We are committed to collaborative working, measurable impact and developing services that respond to local needs.
Young people can access our support through self-referral or referral from parents/carers, schools, professionals and community organisations. We work with boys and young men aged 14+ through mentoring, emotional wellbeing support, personal development and our Fit to Lead programme.
We believe positive change starts when people come together. Our activities provide a welcoming space to meet new people, share experiences, build confidence, have meaningful conversations and feel part of the community. Whether you are a young person, parent, volunteer, professional or community member, there are opportunities to connect, get involved and make a difference.
