Supporting communities to give children and young people the best start in life.

We work with communities in areas of high deprivation because every child deserves the right to succeed, no matter where they live. No single organisation can solve complex social problems on their own but together, we can.

Our Programmes

We support communities in areas of high deprivation to work
collectively to improve the future for young people.

Children living in poverty are unable to realise their potential

Too many children in the UK are not getting the right start in life, leaving them unable to realise their full potential.

Children living in poverty will be 4 months behind their peers when they start school. This gap widens over time.

On average these children are up to 2 years behind their peers by the time they leave secondary school.

Supporting long-term sustainable change

We bring together residents, professionals and decision-makers to co-design a long-term programme that is bespoke to the needs of the local community.

We call this way of working “place-based change”.
