Welcome to LEAP “Local Employment Access Projects”
Over 16 years LEAP have helped thousands of unemployed people from disadvantaged communities into work. In addition, we also provide many other services to the community, including a youth club; drama and dance classes for young people; mentoring; IT and numeracy classes. With unemployment the highest it has been in a generation and getting worse, the need for organisations such as LEAP is greater than ever. We are pleased to be in a position to continue our work. We are particularly grateful for grants from the Hardship Fund and the Big Lottery, that has been a big help to us as we continue to provide and, develop, the unique and innovative training programme that has transformed the lives of so many people.
