Magic Bus UK

Magic Bus UK connects UK-based philanthropy with one of India’s most trusted, community-led models for unlocking opportunity for young people. Through sport, play and life skills, Magic Bus supports adolescents to stay in school, build confidence, delay early marriage, and step into meaningful career pathways. Our adolescent and livelihood programmes are measurable, scalable, and rooted in the realities of the communities we serve delivering global impact with genuine local relevance.

Across India, Magic Bus empowers underserved children and young people aged 12–25 to move confidently from childhood to livelihood. With structured mentoring, foundational education support, and workforce readiness training, we equip young people with the skills, stability and self-belief needed to thrive in a work place. To date, Magic Bus has supported more than 3.5 million young people in some of India’s most underserved communities, helping them continue their education, and secure jobs.

Our approach strengthens entire ecosystems, engaging parents, families, schools and communities so young people are supported at every step of their journey. We are building a generation of young people who are not only skilled and employable, but confident, resilient and ready to shape their own futures.
