Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
All three of us work for the wonderful youth charity, Leap Confronting Conflict.
Leap is a youth charity that provides conflict management training to vulnerable young people aged 11-25. We particularly work with young people who have been excluded from school, are involved with
social services or who are serving custodial services. We’re
based in North London and we work mainly in London, with some national reach.
Leap delivers the training directly to young people in partnership with schools, prisons, and community and voluntary organisations.We also train teachers, prison officers, youth workers and other professionals, helping them better support the young people they work with.
In 2015, we directly reached 1,000 young people and we trained over 500 practitioners.
Our impact is clear: for example, an 80% reduction in arrests one year after a Leap course completion and a 79% reduction in street violence following our community programmes.
With cuts to youth support services, rising prison violence, and an increasing feeling of isolation and alienation among young people in the UK, there is a vital need for Leap’s programmes, as well as its research work into the origins of youth conflict.
