The Project
What we are about
The Leg Up Project CIC is a social hub with the sole purpose of raising the holistic well-being for all involved. We are supported by the National Lottery Community fund and have been running fundraising events to meet the demand for support.
We are based in NW Leicestershire and welcome all onto the project, whether it's because you would like some support, or to join us in helping others.
Our Ethos
Be Supportive of all (including yourself), be Honest to yourself and others, have Integrity and above all Take positive action.
Being part of the project requires us to take ownership of our actions, it forces us to build courage and resilience, and it gives our community values to make positive change.
How we support
We help to change mindset and behaviour with a blend of coaching packages and a broad menu of team and community events.
At the heart of poor mental health lays a need for love & belonging, we maintain our community spirit through our ethos and understand that a healthy community heals.
