The Vision
Emmanuel Togoh, Founder
Durham University | Psychology & Behavioural Sciences | RCCG Youth Leader | UN Youth Advocate
"A world where every young person navigating life’s biggest transitions has access to holistic development tools that help them become purposed in the process. Not just successful. Not just resilient.
Purposed... "
I founded this platform because I live in the in-between.
The stretch between expectation and clarity. The quiet questions about where you fit. How to move forward when the path isn’t obvious.
As a young person from an underrepresented community with caring responsibilities and a hidden disability, I’ve experienced the tension between potential and pressure. But I’ve also seen what’s possible when those moments are met with practical insights that make sense, communities that understand, and opportunities that open doors.
​
That’s what Purposed is about.
​
It’s not just a platform—it’s a promise. That your story matters. That uncertainty is part of the process. And that with the right tools,
you can turn reflection into action, and those ... moments into momentum.
​
Whether you’re choosing your A-levels, applying for Uni, exploring internships, or simply trying to make sense of it all—Purposed exists to walk with you. To help you move with clarity, grow with intention, and progress with character.
​
Because there's purpose in the process.
Our Values

Purposed Perspectives
The Research & Strategy Arm Behind the Platform
Purposed Perspectives is an evidence-based consultancy, also founded by Emmanuel Togoh, combining academic rigour with lived experience
to transform how organisations understand and improve youth development and youth engagement.
It's also the engine that powers the insights behind the Purposed platform.
​​
Our Grounding Principle: "Young people are the experts of their own experience. We listen, learn, and translate their wisdom into systems that work."
What We Do
Research · Strategy · Programme Design​
🔵 We focus on evidence-based youth development and engagement, bridging the gap between what young people need and what's actually offered.
🟠Our mixed-methods research goes beyond statistics to understand the emotional, cognitive, and practical dimensions of youth development.
🟡We then apply these insights to design interventions that meet young people where they are - helping organisations move from low participation to genuine engagement.
