What we are good at
We believe that by providing opportunities to young people which combine an in-depth engagement in either the arts, heritage, environment or sports; alongside a personal development programme it is possible to transform young people’s lives, particularly those who are disadvantaged and at risk.
Leaps and Bounds deliver a fresh engagement for young people and their communities. Each project involves them in exploring personal skills and qualities such as making informed choices, taking responsibility, identifying possibilities and making commitments.
Your voice
If you have an idea for a project in your area and want us to help bring it to life we would love to hear from you.
Help us inspire change and transform the lives of young people and vulnerable people, by helping them to create better lives for themselves and their community.
We focus on each person as an individual and as a result are able to make a collective, sustained and life changing difference.
We can only continue our work with your help. To increase the numbers of people making changes to the way they lead their lives and contribute to your community we need your support.
