Our School Offer In Partnership With Reedham Children's Trust

What we offer

In partnership with Reedham Children’s Trust, we are delivering a School Engagement Programme designed to remove barriers that young people in Croydon may face. We will bridge the gap between schools and a young person’s access to Legacy and the enriching opportunities we can provide.

YOUNG PERSON’S JOURNEY

Try-Train-Team Model

At Legacy, throughout our activities we run a TRY-TRAIN-TEAM model, which encourages young people to engage with a wide range of activities to progress deeper in those specific areas.

Visual Example

Think of those gaps in the circle like the hurdles young people face when trying something new or going through changes – it can be a bit nerve-wracking. But, at the same time, it’s a testament to their commitment to giving it a shot and seeing how it goes. As they get more involved, the outside challenges start to fade away, and their commitment just keeps getting stronger. Plus, when young people show strong and consistent engagement, their soft skills and subject skills get a boost!
