Charity collection – £5,047 was raised at the Private Business Awards 2014
in support of Making the Leap

Making the Leap (formerly LEAP) is an independent voluntary organisation and registered charity, whose aim is to benefit the public, in London and elsewhere in the UK, by relieving poverty and distress through the provision of advice, information, training and education. Due to low social mobility, children born to families in lower social classes find themselves condemned to a life of unequal opportunities and struggle to build better prospects for themselves; the three main areas of concern where inequality and a lack of opportunities are experienced being Education, Employment and Health.

Making the Leap is committed to helping disadvantaged people overcome the circumstances into which they were born. Every month, Making the Leap supports hundreds of young people through its range of services.
