Story

We at Lapwing provide personalised education to young people who experience barriers to accessing education, employment and society generally.  We take a holistic approach to all our student programmes and projects, focusing on both personal and academic development wherever possible.  By keeping the young person’s needs, interests and aspirations at the very heart of the decisions taken about their provision, we deliver excellent outcomes for our students.

In 2017 we began working as area co-ordinator for the Minding The Gap project (funded by the Big Lottery and European Social Fund) within central Suffolk.  Our sole purpose is to re-engage approximately 200 of the hardest to reach 15-24 year olds who are not in education, employment and training and, through employing a range of approaches and delivery partners, move them back into education, training or work.

Since we love to support our students in a personalised way, we wish to reach in the same way and support St. Elizabeth Hospice through the challenge of Hudson Team at Aqua Park Alton Water on the 1st September. 

It is a fun and physically challenging activity, at the same time triggering growth -as we got to pass a few bigger obstacles on the water; acceptance as not all of us are good in sports and it's about taking part in the fun and not winning *wink* and stay friends after if we are losing :))

As Benjamin Franklin said "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn."
