PELO is an acronym for Positive Education Learning Organisation. PELO started as a football club for young people (aged 6 to 23 years old) in 1995 with 12 youngsters, and now includes approximately 800 participants from different backgrounds and cultures, but particularly from deprived areas.
The current building is in a poor state of repair and is not meeting the needs of its users. PELO is therefore proposing to replace these with modern facilities to meet the current needs of the community.
London ProHelp, a professional pro bono group, is providing a range of legal and business support for PELO to facilitate its development.
Hans Haenlein Architects were appointed in 2005 to help the management team to develop the brief and to design the new centre and associated facilities.
