NewLap at Newham College


We worked with Newham's Late Arrival Programme (NewLap) based at Newham College of Further Education in East Ham. This year, loveLife was integrated into NewLap's Enrichment Programme and we supported over 85 young people to improve their English communication and teamwork  skills over two and a half terms. 
Despite the very limited level of English, we were able to adapt the loveLife material to help 68 young people complete their Youth Challenge Award.  
The icing on the cake came in the last term when many of these young people became confident enough to make a promo film introducing NewLap for the new intake in September. This was really rewarding for loveLife as many of those featured in the film had been unable to say anything in front of anybody 6 months earlier. We wish them every success in the future.
