ReachOut is a mentoring charity, rooted in local communities. We run after-school programmes where we build the socio-emotional skills that transform outcomes for 9-14 year olds. We define these skills as empathy, responsibility, problem solving, initiative, teamwork and emotion management.

ReachOut works with London schools in the 20% most deprived areas to help break the cycle of poverty. Focusing on 9–14-year-olds, we aim to close the “opportunity gap” through mentoring that builds social and emotional skills (SEL). These skills are critical for academic success and mental health, yet are less accessible to children growing up in poverty. By improving attainment and work readiness, ReachOut helps ensure that a child’s background does not limit their future.
We form strategic partnerships with schools, working alongside them to offer quality support for young people who need it the most. We provide positive peer support with trusted adult role models to young people through collective mentorship, this sits alongside an evidence-based curriculum and horizon building activities.
