See how

Learn new skills, grow in confidence, make new friends, do new stuff – even earn some money – we promise you that our programmes will be like nothing you’ve ever done before.

100% of the young people that complete our programmes tell us that they now feel they have more confidence and life opportunities. And 70% of the young people go into paid employment or education.

“I was put forward by my social worker from the domestic abuse unit. I didn’t see anything worthwhile in life – I was very depressed; I didn’t want to live.

The programme with WeMindTheGap is the best thing I’ve ever done – now I’m a completely different person – I have my dream job in a care home, lots of friends and lots to live for.”

Today is World Kindness.

Showing kindness is a key value running through all our programmes. Kindness has many benefits including increased happiness and a healthy heart. It improves relationships and connections, which indirectly boosts your health. https://t.co/E9ALmFqfkb

On Remembrance Day we unite across faiths, cultures and backgrounds to remember the service and sacrifice of the Armed Forces community from Britain and the Commonwealth.

Thank you to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

Our gappies took time to reflect and celebrate how far they have come on their WeGrow journey with a trip to London last week.

They visited the Natural History museum & had a tour of the Houses of Parliament thanks to @sarahathertonmp
