Community Organisations

LEAP

Banjoko (formally Victor Johnson) is the founder and chief executive of LEAP (Local Employment Access Projects), a registered charity which aims to increase the employment chances and self-esteem of people from disadvantaged communities.

LEAP was established in 1996 and is loosely based on the American STRIVE model. It uses workshops to teach students the right attitudes and behaviour to succeed in the job market. People who finish the programme have a 70% chance of securing a job compared with a 30% chance for those completing the government's new deal initiative.

Be an inspiration - Tunde Banjoko OBE
