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

Sir John Timpson
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.
