Leeds based charity supporting children, young people and adultsWho We Are Our
charity helps people from the most deprived areas in Leeds where poverty is
entrenched. Many have barriers that prevent them from participating equally in
society. We help adults, young people, families, single parents, children and
members of the BAME community. From our latest client assessments; 70% of those
we help are long-term unemployed, 32% have mental health problems, 82% have low
skills and 60% speak little or no English when they come to us for support. We
also support local children and young people through our Let’s Read Programme
helping increase their literacy and language skills and through our 2 Way Street
Programme, involving them in making East Leeds a cleaner, greener space to live.
