Grassroots Enterprise for Social Inclusion and Poverty Relief (GESIPR) believes in empowering communities, groups and individuals that have been excluded from society
for one reason or the other and as a result are inhibited from exploring and attaining their full potentials as individuals and community assets.
We identify and serve people deeply affected by social injustice: domestic abuse survivors, ex-offenders, disadvantaged young people, the homeless, asylum seekers, and single parents and families living in poverty, who are falling through cracks in the
system without any other viable support. Our mission is to help these people and their communities access equal opportunities, harness their potential and regain their confidence and value. Our methods for helping them vary, as we take a holistic approach to solving problems. We aim to partner with existing services and voluntary agencies to fill gaps in service delivery for the communities in which we work.

The world for children, young people, and adults is changing at a rate that presents them with significant challenges, pressures, and barriers. Now, more than ever, they need consistent guidance and expectations, positive role models, and activities that keep them occupied and engaged.
