Mind the gap

Rachel Clacher CBE, founder & trustee, WeMindTheGap

“The Neumark Foundation was the first ever organisation to support Mind the gap – and in doing so gave us the confidence to do more and better. Their support has allowed over 100 young people, our ‘gappies’, to have time with The Outward Bound Trust at the beginning of their employment with us. Shared adventures and team experiences there help our gappies develop new skills and identify new talents, which translates over the subsequent months into new confidence and self-esteem.

“It therefore plays a vital part in the success of our programmes and the impact that we have on under-served young people in our local communities. We are grateful indeed to The Neumark Foundation for this continued support and for taking a chance on us all those years ago.”
