    Situation

    Young people across South London face multiple levels of adversities that have a knock-on effect on their well-being and life choices. 25% of London's children are at risk of going hungry during the school holidays, with almost 4 in 10 (37%) of the capital's children living in poverty. As an area with a high percentage of young people eligible for free school meals & increased numbers of looked after children, young people's risk of following a detrimental path increase during school holidays.

    Solution

    Reaching Higher supports young people in and around Croydon, challenging them to become leaders in their own lives. We have adapted our approach to ensure we are reaching young people and meeting their needs following the pandemic. We will partner with local schools and the community to provide FREE half-term provisions for young people most in need with a solution-focused approach. We will provide fun, safe and interactive activities for young people as well as nutritional lunch and dinner.
