ReachOut is a mentoring charity working with children aged 9-16 in disadvantaged communities in England to raise aspirations and help them grow in character and attainment. After 16 years of successful projects delivered through partner schools across London, Manchester, Oldham & Liverpool, ReachOut set up an online programme in response to the Coronavirus pandemic called ReachOut Home. The programme provides crucial emotional support to disadvantaged and vulnerable young people whose lives have been turned upside down by the current crisis. We continue to rely on the generosity of our supporters to continue our work and changing the lives of the young people that we work with. “ReachOut has made me a better person mentally and physically. I have enjoyed having a mentor; she is kind, helpful and trustworthy. My schoolwork is better, my behaviour is better and I enjoyed socialising in football.” ReachOut Mentee, Year 9, London
