“It’s been my pleasure and privilege to support Making the Leap with a small regular gift for many years. I believe there’s nothing that’s more rewarding to do what you can to help young people realise their potential, and Making the Leap does that in so many ways. When I hear about the young people you’ve helped into work, or to think about College, or to put their life on a more positive path, or built their confidence to articulate the person they can be, I can’t think of anything more fulfilling or meaningful that I could support.”
