Our Mission in Action
Empowering Our Communities
Our mission is to create educational opportunities that support local people to achieve their full potential as creators of positive change taking informed action to affect local and global transformation.
Our Vision for the
North East Inner City
LYCS imagines a future where no person in this community is left behind; a place where future generations have opportunities to enhance their lives and act as global citizens, enriched by excellent education and humanising employment.
Who We Support
We work with people in the North Inner City throughout the course of their lives, focusing on those who are vulnerable, disenfranchised and "seldom heard", that is, living with social and economic disadvantage and the impacts this has on lives.
