THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT IN 2021

You have helped us to deliver life-changing programmes to young people, to help them be the best versions of themselves and build positive futures. We greatly appreciate you and your efforts to enable our young people and our communities to thrive.

With your help, earlier this month we hit our target for the Big Give! Thank you to everyone who supported our Big Give Christmas Challenge Campaign. It’s the first time we’ve taken part, and we’re delighted to say that we hit our target!

We raised a total of £20K, which will be used to expand our Progression Routes programme. This means more young people will be able to access 1:1 support, developing the skills and confidence to achieve their aspirations and build solid plans for the future.

Opportunities for 2022:

  • We are incredibly excited that Rise Up 2.0 is launching in the New Year. If you are looking to develop your skills as a youth worker and future leader of the youth sector, why not apply? It’s a free and innovative leadership programme for frontline youth practitioners, run in partnership with London Youth, Power the Fight and Clore Social Leadership. Express your interest here.
  • If you are interested in challenging yourself in 2022, why not sign up for the London Landmarks Half Marathon? We have four spaces left – get in touch with us if you’re interested!
    We have several vacancies become available within our team. Why not join us in an exciting period of growth, as we invest in our systems, how we measure impact, and look to develop our portfolio of grants and funders. Visit our Careers Page to find out more.

Finally, if you are looking for a podcast to listen to over the festive period, all seven episodes of Let’s Talk Conflict are now available to stream, as well as a bonus Christmas Special episode which has been released this week, including a festive quiz! Listen now on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

From everyone at Leap, we wish you and your loved ones a great festive break and we send our best wishes for a healthy and happy 2022.
