LEAP (Local Employment Access Projects) is a London-based charity that has, over 16 years, helped thousands of unemployed people from disadvantaged communities into work. LEAP have received many commendations for their innovative work and have designed a programme that is being delivered all over Scotland. Being a charity, LEAP also provide many other services to the community, including a youth club; drama and dance classes for young people; mentoring; IT and numeracy classes.

On March 31st, LEAPs funding ran out and they are now operating only as a result of their reserves. With unemployment the highest it has been in a generation and getting worse, this is not the time for an organisation such as LEAP to be forced to close. Please sign our petition to ask Mayor Boris Johnson and/or the Government to step in and provide the funds to ensure that LEAP continues to help people get some dignity and get into work.
