Many UK communities suffer new and entrenched divisions. Damaging attitudes, racism, bullying and aggressive and violent behaviour can be prevalent in some parts of society.
As a result, many young people feel vulnerable and unsafe on a daily basis and others are disengaged from their communities. Yet, at Leap we believe that they are all in a unique position to shape and change society through constructively managing conflict in their own communities.
