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.”

Do you know a young person aged 16 – 19 living in Conwy who is feeling isolated and alone and is not sure how to reconnect with the world?
Here’s a great place to start: ‘WeDiscover’ a virtual programme that young people can access from the safety of their own homes. https://t.co/jiSRpLMKZ4

Just before Christmas, @MomentumWines Proprietor Howard Jones presented WeMindTheGap Chair and Founder Rachel Clacher CBE with a cheque for £3,000 towards the Charity's life-changing WeDiscover virtual programme.

‘Celebration’ is one of our WeMindTheGap values, and within that we include saying ‘Thank you’. Our Wrexham First Mate, Penny, went to visit Dawn Pavey at @XploreScienceUK to do just that – and presented her with artwork designed by our gappies to show their chosen team values. https://t.co/GqQPWe9Gav

Are you sitting on the sofa watching Disney films and eating hotdogs?
Us too! We support our WeBelong Gappies all year round, and that includes this week.
Penny hosted a drop-in session for any of our Gappies wanting a bit of company this week at our hub.
