WHO
WE
ARE
Our heart is to equip and transform lives through the love of God and the truth of the gospel. We are committed to blessing our city and our nation by remaining active, relevant, and engaged in all that we do.
As a missional community, we reach outward to meet tangible and spiritual needs through diverse ministries and acts of service, with the ultimate purpose of leading people to Christ through discipleship, authentic relationships, and Christ-centered care.
PUBLIC
STATEMENT
As we have shared elsewhere, Urban Key London is no longer affiliated with Youth With A Mission (YWAM). This decision was made by YWAM England and was not our choice. While this season has been painful and unexpected, our calling to London and our commitment to serve people with integrity and faithfulness remain unchanged.
​
Urban Key London continues to operate as an independent charitable organisation. Our staff team, programmes, and local partnerships are ongoing as we prayerfully discern the next steps for the ministry. We are taking intentional time to care for our community, seek wise counsel, and listen to God together.
​
We want to reassure you that we remain committed to good governance, financial accountability, safeguarding best practice, and transparency. If you currently support Urban Key London financially, please know that your giving continues to sustain the work and people you have faithfully partnered with over many years. We are deeply grateful for your generosity and do not take it lightly.
We also understand that transitions raise questions. While there are details we cannot responsibly share at this time, we are committed to communicating honestly and appropriately as the path forward becomes clearer.
​
Above all, we ask for your prayers — for wisdom, peace, protection, and unity within our community. Thank you for standing with us during this season.

TWO Locations
URBAN KEY HARLESDEN
URBAN KEY WILLESDEN
As a community, we currently operate from two locations. We live in shared housing, doing life and ministry together—so the places we live are also the places we serve from. These spaces are not only functional, but foundational, where we intentionally build our relationship with God and with one another.
​
While we are presently spread across locations for practical purposes, our heart and vision remain united: to serve individuals, communities, people groups, and churches through diverse and creative expressions of ministry.
​
We are in a season of transition, embracing a name change and the shaping of a renewed identity and vision as we step out of our formal relationship with YWAM. Having served this city faithfully for over 20 years, our calling and direction remain unchanged. Our heart continues to beat for this city, for the nation, and for the people God has entrusted to us—carrying forward the same passion with renewed purpose for what lies ahead.
