THIS IS
OUR STORY
Reaching Higher was formed in 2010 with a vision to empower young people as leaders and change-makers in their community.
​
Reaching Higher is based in South Norwood and works across the Borough of Croydon.
We work with a diverse range of young people, all with limitless potential. Our aim at Reaching Higher is to help them unlock it.
We define leadership as the opportunity for young people to have an active and informed role in the decisions that will positively impact their future. The work we do is about levelling the playing field, and to do this, we strive to unlock the leadership potential in all young people and help them harness it in the right way.
Reaching Higher has always been about serving young people in their local community. We create a coaching environment where young people can engage in a wide range of activities to build their self-esteem and develop problem-solving, communication, teamwork, and leadership skills.
Over half of our team are former service users, demonstrating our commitment to raising leaders. These young adults are now reinvesting in the next generation, offering the same support that Reaching Higher gave them.
