Saturday 23 May 2020, marks one year since Leap’s last Lighting the Fire Awards. The pandemic has significantly changed how local communities and grassroot organisations engage and work with young people. Nevertheless, many remain committed to supporting young people through and beyond the pandemic and have transferred service provision online.
