We currently deliver programmes across the North West and North Wales.
The young people on our programmes refer to themselves as ‘gappies’.

WeMindTheGap Patron
For every £1 invested, we return £3.60 in social value within 18 months.
For every 10 gappies, we achieve a social impact of £550,000 and public-cost savings of £190,000 – all within one year of gappies graduating.
Since our programmes began in 2014, we have delivered £5.5m in social value and £2.4m in public-cost savings. That’s a total impact of £7.9m.
70% of our graduates have remained in successful and sustainable employment, or educational opportunities which means that they have stayed clear of the benefits system.For comparison, on joining the programme, 100% of gappies were on income related benefits.

We think the prize for the best lunchtime activity goes to Chris from our WeDiscover team, who is working from his family’s home in South Africa this week and got to see these amazing creatures on his lunch break!
