At Reestablish we aim to empower people to discover their potential and actively pursue opportunities to develop their potential and positively improve their lives, whilst enhancing the lives of others. We are a group of local people creating opportunities for change for our local young people aged 7 to 19 from areas of high deprivation within South Leeds: raising aspirations, providing support and safe environments in which to belong, invest in and empower them to holistically grow.

We engage those who fall through the gaps of other provisions, kids surrounded by violence, drug use, stabbings, suicide, criminality and loss as day-to-day norms.

We develop early engagement projects for 7 to 12-year olds and focused projects for 13 to 19-year olds – aimed at those most likely to end up in abusive relationships, prison, job-less or dropping out of school. We provide a year round weekly offer of; drop-ins session - using a lot of sport/fitness and creative art; mentoring and community support; group work activity; trips; holiday camps and expeditions. We long to see young people’s physical and mental health, as well as their emotional literacy, life skills, self-confidence, aspirations and life expectations improve – from poverty to possibility.

We are currently fundraising to take a team of young people to Sierra Leone as part of a voluntary project we run - to work with kids with disabilities & those who have been impacted by the aftermath of civil war.  Your support is hugely appreciated & will transform the lives of the young people involved.
