WeMindTheGap

WeMindTheGap's core purpose is to transform the lives of young people aged 11-25 who have ‘fallen through the gaps’ by offering them new opportunities and ongoing support to help them develop the maturity, independence, aspirations, and skills necessary to make real choices and thrive in life and work. The organisation creates a sense of belonging and community for young people, empowering them to thrive and succeed by bridging gaps between them, education, employers, and communities. Through innovative, holistic, and immersive programmes, WeMindTheGap connects young people with opportunities, builds their resilience, and enables them to navigate their world with confidence and independence. Through our place-based approach “it takes a village to raise a child but a system to mind the gaps” and our ambition of creating 10,000 connections in each village to wrap support around young people, we deliver a continuum of 5 programmes, supporting young people who are persistently not attending school regularly, reaching out to those who are lost and lonely and stuck in their bedrooms, employability programmes and an alumni community of over 400 young people.
