Our education projects facilitate business volunteers to support children and young people to gain valuable literacy, numeracy and employability skills. These targeted projects aim to give all children and young people an equal chance to turn their potential into success in order for them to go on to further education or secure a good job Last year we supported just over 8500 children in 58 primary and secondary schools across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. Our work at Leicestershire Cares is closely linked to the Gatsby Benchmarks.
