We’re proud to announce that LEAP has been awarded Trusted Charity Level 1 Accreditation.

Delivered by The Growth Company, this nationally recognised accreditation recognises charities that meet high standards of governance, leadership, and operational effectiveness. The rigorous assessment evaluates organisations across eleven core areas, demonstrating a commitment to quality, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Achieving this accreditation reflects LEAP’s dedication to delivering the highest standards in everything we do and reinforces our commitment to providing trusted, high-quality support to the communities we serve.

Our Assessor noted the following about LEAP in their report:

“LEAP’s mission, vision and values are not simply statements of intent but are actively embedded within governance, management and service delivery.”

“This creates a consistent organisational culture and a clear focus on achieving positive outcomes for residents.”

In addition, our Assessor recognised the community outreach work we undertake in Gainsborough:

“Through initiatives such as the Gainsborough Community Hub, LEAP contributes positively to local communities while creating opportunities that benefit residents and strengthen local networks.”

Trudi Ward-Walters, LEAP’s Company Secretary & Assistant CEO, had this to say about the accreditation:

“We are proud to have fully met all requirements of the Trusted Charity Standard Level 1 assessment. This achievement recognises our quality today while inspiring our ambitions for tomorrow.”
