    Situation

    Local Employment Access Projects (LEAP) is a registered charity and company limited by guarantee, set up in July 1993 in North West London. Our main activities are to provide advice, guidance, training and support to unemployed people in the greater London urban area, aimed at helping them attain and retain employment. We have established ourselves as one of the leading ethnic minority led organisations in our field having helped more than 4000 unemployed people from disadvantaged communities into paid employment. The vast majority of LEAP’s clients are from ethnic minorities, but we serve people from all backgrounds. Our success has been based on our closeness to the very people for whom we provide services and ensuring that our provision is regularly adjusted and delivered to remain relevant to their needs, our closeness to employers and other voluntary and community based organisations.
