Celebrating the story of the Lambeth Early Action Partnership

The LEAP programme in Lambeth succeeded in making a real difference to children and families during its three years, as Karen Hart discovered when she attended a conference to celebrate its achievements.
Over the lifetime of the programme LEAP has reached a total of 15,374 families.

On 11 September, Lambeth Early Action Partnership held its end of programme information sharing conference at Lambeth Town Hall, Southwest London. The event was a chance for everyone involved to share research and evidence on the outcomes of LEAP’s work for children and families in Lambeth, and to look at how these outcomes were achieved.

Born in the wake of Sure Start, and funded by the National Lottery Community fund, the LEAP project aimed to provide opportunities for change in the care and provision of pregnant women, babies, young children and families in the Lambeth area.

The event included insights from influential early years speakers, including Professor Ingrid Wolfe, as well as from parents from the local area, providing their thoughts into the benefits of the work LEAP has carried out and the long lasting benefits  it has provided for the borough – hailed by programme director, Laura McFarlane, as a once in a lifetime opportunity.
