We Mind the Gap

WeMindTheGap bridges the gap between young people aged 16 -25 yrs, disadvantaged by their circumstances, and the wider community in the North West including North Wales, Cheshire, Merseyside & Manchester. Through the provision of totally holistic, paid traineeships the aim is to give new opportunities in life and work which address any gaps in maturation, aspiration, confidence, care and skills.

From the charity's annual return to the Charity Commission, which asks every charity with income over £10,000 how much came from government grants and contracts.

Only funding the accounts name with an amount is included. Most charities also have income from donations, fees and trading that is not listed by funder, so this is part of its income.
